HISTORICAL  PREFACE 

The  ornithological  library  of  the  Field  Museum  of  Natural  History 
has  been  dedicated  to  Mr.  Edward  E.  Ayer  with  more  than  usual  reason. 
This  library  is  not  the  result  of  any  single  gift  of  money  nor  of  periodic 
gifts  made  perfunctorily  as  mere  philanthropy.  It  is,  rather,  the  culmina- 
tion of  a  growth  which  began  with  a  young  boy's  contact  with  raw  nature 
in  pioneer  times,  which  was  supported  later  by  hard  cash  wrested  from 
the  opportunities  of  those  times,  and  which  was  nurtured  through  many 
years  by  the  personal  devotion  of  a  man  of  remarkable  character.  In 
fact,  Mr.  Ayer's  interest  in  and  relation  to  the  library  are  bound  up  with 
the  history  of  his  life.  The  same  might  be  said  of  other  collections  made 
by  him,  but  no  attempt  at  an  account  of  any  of  them  could  be  made 
without  recognizing  it. 

Born  at  Kenosha,  Wisconsin  in  1841,  Edward  Ayer  as  a  small  boy 
went  with  his  parents  to  a  prairie  farm  in  northern  Illinois,  a  few  miles 
from  the  present  town  of  Harvard.  His  father,  Elbridge  Gerry  Ayer,  a 
native  of  Haverhill,  Massachusetts,  opened  a  small  crossroads  store 
there,  and  the  place  came  to  be  known  as  "Ayer's  Corners."  Familiarity 
with  the  birds  and  other  wild  lif  e  of  the  region  was  naturally  a  part  of  the 
young  boy's  daily  life  and,  like  others  of  those  times,  he  was  privileged 
to  have  many  experiences  that  are  denied  to  the  present  generation. 
To  this  day,  it  is  one  of  his  delights  to  stand  on  the  old  ground  and  point 
out  the  spot  where,  as  a  stripling,  he  stood  and  witnessed  one  of  the 
historic  flights  of  the  now  extinct  Passenger  Pigeon,  one  of  the  really 
great  flights  in  which  the  birds  passed  in  clouds  for  hours  and  hours, 
literally  darkening  the  sky.  Such  boyhood  impressions  doubtless  assisted 
in  kindling  his  interest  in  birds  and  in  books  about  them  during  his  later 
life.  This  interest  was  also  fostered  by  a  great,  almost  reverential  senti- 
ment toward  things  of  the  past  which  is  one  of  his  strongest  charac- 
teristics. This  sentiment,  in  its  application  to  birds,  takes  the  form  of  a 
sort  of  loyalty  as  to  an  old  friend  or  neighbor. 

In  1856,  Mr.  Ayer's  father  laid  out  the  town  of  Harvard,  Illinois  and 
in  1860  he  was  the  proprietor  of  a  hotel  there  as  well  as  being  largely 
interested  in  nearby  farming  property.  His  eighteen-year-old  son  was 
serving  as  night  clerk  in  the  hotel  and  also  carried  such  further  respons- 
ibilities as  rounding  up  strayed  cattle  when  occasion  demanded.  While 
engaged  in  this  latter  occupation,  in  April  1860,  he  encountered  a  local 
party  starting  to  cross  the  plains  to  California.  His  adventurous  spirit 
was  fired  and,  having  obtained  his  parent's  permission,  he  joined  another 
train  of  wagons  a  few  days  later  to  make  the  long  overland  journey. 

iii 


Needless  to  say,  he  was  close  to  nature  all  the  way.  There  was  much 
hard  work  combined  with  many  interesting  experiences,  including  several 
slight  brushes  with  Indians,  but  owing  to  the  season  or  to  the  nature  of 
the  route,  no  herds  of  buffalo  were  seen,  this  being  a  matter  of  great 
regret  often  expressed  in  later  years  by  Mr.  Ayer.  He  left  the  wagon 
train  in  Nevada  and  went  to  work  shovelling  quartz  in  a  mine  near 
Silver  City.  This  provided  money  to  take  him  to  San  Francisco  where 
he  found  friends  and  obtained  employment  sawing  wood  with  a  buck- 
saw in  a  lumberyard. 

It  was  only  a  short  time  after  this  that  the  Civil  War  broke  ouu,  and 
the  first  volunteer  to  be  sworn  in  for  California  was  Edward  E.  Ayer, 
this  distinction  being  partly  due  to  the  initial  letter  of  his  name  but  also 
indicating  that  he  lost  no  time  in  deciding  where  his  duty  lay.  He  was 
made  a  corporal  at  once  and  for  the  next  three  years  was  in  service  in 
southern  California,  Arizona,  and  New  Mexico.  During  this  time,  while 
detailed  in  charge  of  a  guard  over  a  mine  some  sixty  miles  southwest  of 
Tucson,  Arizona,  he  spent  some  of  the  long  hours  reading  a  book  which 
chance  had  thrown  his  way  and  which  made  a  profound  impression  upon 
him.  It  was  Prescott's  "Conquest  of  Mexico"  and,  after  reading  it 
twice  from  cover  to  cover,  the  young  corporal  was  filled  with  an  en- 
thusiasm for  the  romance  and  a  respect  for  the  deeds  of  early  American 
history  which  have  remained  with  him  to  the  present  day.  In  some 
privately  circulated  reminiscences,  he  said  recently:  "I  want  to  reiter- 
ate that  the  finding  of  Prescott's  'Conquest  of  Mexico'  in  that  mine  in 
Arizona  in  '62  has  been  responsible  and  is  to  be  credited  as  the  prin- 
cipal force  that  has  given  me  a  vast  amount  of  enjoyment  in  this 
world,  and  is  absolutely  responsible  for  the  'Ayer  Library'  now  in 
the  Newberry."  After  he  had  left  the  army  and  trekked  back  to  his 
home  in  Harvard,  Illinois,  one  of  his  first  acts  was  the  purchase  in 
Chicago  of  Prescott's  works  on  Mexico  and  Peru.  The  price  was 
$17.50  and  the  dealer  who  offered  it  was  so  impressed  with  his  char- 
acter and  sincerity  that  he  allowed  him  to  take  it  home  for  an  initial 
payment  of  $3.50  and  the  promise  of  $3.50  monthly,  the  only  terms 
possible  for  him  at  the  time. 

The  four  years  of  the  western  trip  and  the  army  service  had  been 
crowded  with  experiences  that  furnished  the  young  man's  main  prepara- 
tion for  life.  His  college  campus  was  the  covered  wagon  trail  and  his 
fraternity  brothers  were  the  rough  and  ready  pioneers  of  the  far  west. 
With  this  background,  it  would  scarcely  have  been  predicted  that  he 
would  spend  the  latter  half  of  his  life  as  a  patron  of  art  and  science,  as  a 
bibliophile,  and  as  an  ardent  collector. 

In  his  twenty-third  year,  Mr.  Ayer  began  his  business  career,  at  first 
with  his  father  in  Harvard,  but  soon  moving  to  Chicago  where  he 

iv 


developed  a  general  railroad  contracting  business.  During  the  next 
fifteen  years  his  success  was  rapid  and  the  foundation  of  an  independ- 
ent fortune  was  laid,  principally  through  contracts  with  western  rail- 
roads to  which  he  furnished  ties,  telegraph  poles,  and  lumber  much  of 
which  came  from  a  mill  which  he  built  and  operated  at  Flagstaff,  Ari- 
zona. In  1865,  he  was  married  to  Emily  Augusta  Burbank  of  Law- 
rence, Massachusetts,  who  for  sixty-one  years  has  been  his  constant 
companion,  sympathetic  and  inspiring  in  all  his  many  activities. 

Although  Chicago  was  his  headquarters,  his  business  kept  him  in 
the  west  much  of  the  time  and  there  was  much  traveling  connected  with 
it,  including  long  horseback  trips  in  Mexico  and  in  various  western  states. 
His  contact  with  wild  nature  was  close  and  almost  constant.  The  birds 
and  the  beasts  grew  in  his  affections  and  he  developed  an  especial  interest 
in  and  sympathy  for  the  American  Indian.  He  was  quick  to  see  that 
primitive  conditions  were  soon  to  pass,  and  in  1871  he  began  the  forma- 
tion of  a  collection  of  ethnological  material  illustrating  the  life  and  cus- 
toms of  the  Indian.  This  was  kept  for  some  years  in  an  outbuilding  on 
his  summer  place  at  Lake  Geneva,  Wisconsin  where  it  grew  to  an  im- 
portance and  value  scarcely  anticipated  even  by  its  owner.  When  the 
Field  Museum  was  founded  in  1893,  this  invaluable  collection  was 
presented  to  it,  being  perhaps  the  outstanding  one  of  numerous  gifts  to 
the  Museum  by  Mr.  Ayer.  Coincident  with  the  Indian  collection,  he 
began  his  great  library  of  Americana  which  is  now  in  the  Newberry 
Library  of  Chicago  and  on  which  he  spent  not  less  than  forty  thousand 
dollars  per  year  for  a  long  period,  making  it  one  of  the  finest,  if  not  the 
very  finest  library  of  the  kind  in  existence  and  having  a  present  estimated 
value  of  over  two  million  dollars. 

In  the  early  eighties,  one  of  Mr.  Ayer's  recreations  was  duck  shooting 
in  the  Mississippi  Valley  and  no  season  passed  without  seeing  him  in  the 
field,  not  only  near  home  but  elsewhere,  from  Minnesota  to  southern 
Illinois.  This  brought  his  attention  to  birds  more  especially  than  for- 
merly and  he  began  buying  a  few  of  the  more  important  books  about 
them.  These  included  Audubon's  "Birds  of  America"  and  other  large 
illustrated  works  which  were  added  to  from  time  to  time  until  he  had  in 
his  own  home  a  considerable  collection  of  choice  ornithological  books. 
This,  then,  was  the  nucleus  of  the  important  library  which  afterward 
developed. 

After  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  in  1893,  Mr.  Ayer  was  the 
leader  of  the  small  group  of  far-seeing  men  who  took  an  active  part  in 
founding  the  Field  Museum.  In  fact,  he  became  the  first  president  of  its 
board  of  trustees  and,  although  he  retired  from  this  heavily  responsible 
office  in  1899,  ne  has  continued  to  serve  with  unceasing  interest  in  the 
welfare  of  the  Museum,  as  a  member  of  the  board  until  the  present  time. 


Among  his  first  acts,  after  the  organization  of  the  Museum,  was  the  pre- 
sentation to  it  of  his  library  of  ornithological  books.  Thereafter  he 
provided  funds  for  additions  to  it,  especially  in  the  purchase  of 
books  sumptuously  bound  and  profusely  illustrated  with  colored  plates. 
Probably  the  literature  of  no  other  branch  of  science  includes  so  many 
such  books  as  does  that  of  ornithology,  and  their  cost  is  usually  pro- 
hibitive for  all  except  the  largest  and  finest  libraries.  It  has  been  the 
unique  history  of  this  library,  therefore,  that  the  most  expensive 
books  have  been  the  ones  first  acquired. 

While  housed  in  the  old  Fine  Arts  Building  of  the  World's  Fair, 
which  was  occupied  by  the  Museum  until  1920,  the  "Ayer  Ornithological 
Library"  was  on  public  view  in  a  room  adjoining  the  general  library 
which  was  also  used  as  reading  room.  The  richly  bound  volumes  of  folio 
size,  which  then  formed  a  conspicuous  part  of  it,  will  be  recalled  by 
many  of  the  visitors  to  the  Museum  in  those  days.  After  removal  to  the 
Museum's  present  building,  this  library  was  merged  with  other  orni- 
thological books  belonging  to  the  Museum  and  the  whole  designated 
as  the  "Ayer  Library."  Meanwhile  Mr.  Ayer  had  presented  the  valuable 
Clarke  collection  of  books  on  angling  and  ichthyology  which  occupied 
another  section  of  the  zoological  library. 

Since  effort  had  been  especially  directed  to  the  acquisition  of  books 
illustrated  in  color,  the  proportion  of  such  books  in  the  library  was  very 
large  and  it  was  found  that  the  literature  of  ornithology  was  not  com- 
prehensively covered.  With  generous  support  from  Mr.  Ayer,  this 
deficiency  has  been  largely  overcome  during  the  past  five  years.  The 
preparation  of  the  catalogue  has  made  it  possible  to  prepare  lists  of 
desiderata  and,  in  general,  has  greatly  stimulated  the  growth  of  the 
library.  Books  have  been  added  rapidly  and  continuously  and,  as  the 
catalogue  goes  to  press,  it  is  evident  that  additions  in  the  future  will 
consist  mainly  of  scarce  items  and  of  such  new  books  on  the  subject  as 
may  appear.  Mr.  Ayer's  interest  and  personal  attention  have  never 
flagged.  He  has  been  a  constant  visitor  to  the  library  during  its 
recent  growth,  consulting  as  to  sources  of  purchase  and  examining  ac- 
cessions as  received.  At  the  age  of  eighty-five,  his  vigor  and  enthusiasm 
are  the  envy  of  many  younger  men,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  years  of 
activity  may  still  be  his.  Born  collector  that  he  is,  however,  he  thinks 
of  his  collections  rather  than  himself  and  has  provided  a  substantial 
bequest  to  the  Museum  for  the  continuance  and  growth  of  its  library.

AUTHOR'S  PREFACE 

Before  entering  into  a  discussion  of  the  plan  of  the  following  cata- 
logue, I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  assistance  of  a  number  of  people 
who  have  contributed,  in  one  way  and  another,  to  the  work.  First,  I 
wish  to  thank  Mr.  Edward  E.  Ayer  for  the  opportunity  of  preparing 
the  catalogue  and  for  the  invaluable  privilege  of  adding  any  books  to 
the  library  which  were  (and  are)  desirable  and  procurable.  To  Dr. 
Wilfred  H.  Osgood,  Curator  of  Zoology,  I  am  indebted  for  unlimited 
departmental  facilities  for  pursuing  the  bibliographic  investigations. 
To  Dr.  Charles  E.  Hellmayr,  Associate  Curator  of  Birds,  I  am  grateful 
for  generous  freedom  of  access  to  manuscript  notes  and  an  unwritten 
fund  of  information  respecting  ornithological  literature.  From  Drs. 
C.  W.  Richmond  and  H.  C.  Oberholser  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  Glover 
M.  Allen  of  Boston,  and  A.  Laubmann  of  Munich,  I  have  received 
important  notes  respecting  certain  publications  which  are  acknowl- 
edged in  their  places.  Further  acknowledgments  are  due  to  Mr.  W.  J. 
Gerhard,  Associate  Curator  of  Insects,  and  Miss  Elsie  Lippincott  and 
Mrs.  Emily  M.  Wilcoxson,  Librarian  and  Assistant  Librarian,  respec- 
tively, for  many  courtesies  and  suggestions  offered  during  the  course 
of  the  work. 

The  catalogue  makes  no  pretense  of  being  a  complete  bibliography 
of  ornithological  works,  nor  does  it  contain  a  list  of  all  the  literature 
on  the  subject  of  birds  which  is  available  at  Field  Museum  of  Natural 
History.  It  includes  the  splendid  collection  of  books  dealing  wholly 
or  in  part  with  birds  which  has  been  presented  to  Field  Museum  by 
Mr.  Ayer,  and  all  other  works  in  the  library  of  the  museum  which  are 
entirely  ornithological;  general  works  not  presented  by  Mr.  Ayer  are 
not  included  although  they  may  contain  more  or  less  bird  matter. 

The  catalogue  is  still  further  restricted  (almost  completely)  to  books 
and  papers  which  stand  apart  so  as  to  require  citation  by  title,  or  which 
form  parts  of  such  publications,  and  omits  numbered  bulletins,  cir- 
culars, reports,  etc.,  and  extracts  from  periodicals  and  serials;  excep- 
tions are  made  in  the  case  of  some  of  the  more  important  papers  dealing 
with  the  bird  life  of  the  entire  United  States  or  of  the  separate  states 
within  it.  Author's  reprints,  sometimes  repaged  or  retitled,  which 
have  been  revised  before  reprinting  (as  have  many  of  C.  L.  Bonaparte's 
writings,  for  example)  are  included  as  distinct  works.  A  simple  list 
of  periodicals  and  dictionaries  of  natural  history  in  the  Edward  E. 
Ayer  Library  is  appended. 

A  departure  from  ordinary  practices  has  been  made  with  regard  to 
the  order  of  arrangement  of  titles.  All  the  contributions  of  each  author 

vii 


are  listed  in  chronological  sequence  regardless  of  single  or  joint  author- 
ship. In  cases  of  divided  authorship,  the  book  is  discussed  under  the 
name  of  the  senior  author  while  cross-references  are  given  under  the 
various  junior  authors.  Contributors,  who  have  supplied  chapters  or 
sections  of  ornithological  text  in  the  works  of  other  writers,  are  listed 
(in  parentheses)  under  the  senior  author  of  the  book  in  question,  to 
which  cross-references  are  given  under  the  name  of  each  contributor. 
Where  possible,  each  cross-reference  is  filed  under  the  dates  of  publica- 
tion of  the  actual  contribution,  which  may  or  may  not  be  coextensive 
with  the  dates  of  the  complete  work. 

Each  title  is  transcribed  line  by  line  (with  the  various  lines  of  the 
original  title-pages  separated  by  vertical  dashes),  except  that  long 
lists  of  publications  or  honorary  titles  have  been  curtailed  and  noted 
instead  (in  brackets)  as,  "[etc.,  7  lines.]."  Quotations,  figures,  vig- 
nettes, blazons,  trade-marks,  etc.,  are  similarly  noted.  All  such  ex- 
planatory matter  is  printed  in  italics  to  distinguish  it  from  lettering 
which  is  copied  verbatim  from  the  title-pages  and  which  is  printed 
in  ordinary  type.  Horizontal,  ruled  lines  are  not  transcribed  or  noted. 
Bold-faced  type  is  used  to  segregate  a  distinctive  "short  title"  from  the 
mass  of  lettering  in  the  transcriptions. 

When  the  work  under  review  occupies  more  than  one  volume,  the 
first  title  is  used  as  a  standard.  This  is  transcribed  like  the  title  of 
a  single  volume  while  the  changes  which  occur  from  line  to  line  in 
succeeding  numbers  are  noted  or  transcribed  (in  brackets)  with  an 
indication  (where  necessary)  of  the  volume  in  which  the  changes  ap- 
pear; the  differentiae  of  the  various  volumes,  where  they  occur  within 
the  same  brackets,  are  separated  by  semicolons.  For  example:  "With 
five  [four  (Vol.  II.};  three  (Vol.  III.)}  colored  plates.  [Line  omitted 
(Vol.  IV.).}\." 

If  the  transcription  has  been  made  from  outside  sources  in  the  ab- 
sence of  an  available  original  title-page,  the  entire  title  is  enclosed  in 
braces  or  brackets.  If  the  book  is  without  any  published  title,  a  de- 
scriptive one  has  been  created.  In  the  "Willughby  Society"  reprints, 
etc.,  the  original  title  is  placed  in  brackets  following  the  title  of  the 
reissue.  Occasionally,  brackets  have  been  transcribed  intact  from  the 
title-pages,  but  these  cases  are  usually  recognizable. 

The  sign >  (greater  than),  as  used  here,  separates  a  title  from  a 
following  subtitle.  It  is  also  used  before  a  subtitle  or  subordinate 
title  if  the  full  title  is  not  given,  or  before  the  full  title  if  the  volume 
quoted  is  not  the  first  in  a  series  to  which  it  belongs. 

The  sign  <  (less  than),  separates  the  title  of  a  contribution  from  the 
title  of  the  complete  work  or  periodical  in  which  it  appeared.

Abbott,  Charles  C.' 

1887.    A  naturalist's  |  rambles  about  home  |  by  |  Charles  C.  Abbott  | 
Second  edition,  revised  |  New  York  |  D.  Appleton  and  Company  | 

1887. 
i  vol.  crown  8vo,  tit.,  pp.  1-485,  2  11.  (advt.).   New  York. 

A  series  of  popular  essays  on  natural  history  based  on  the  author's  observations 
in  the  vicinity  of  Trenton,  New  Jersey.  Many  of  the  chapters  and  notes  relate 
to  birds  and  the  portion  of  the  appendix  on  pp.  451-475  contains  an  annotated 
list  of  the  birds  of  Mercer  County,  N.  J.  The  original  edition,  published  in 
1884,  was  severely  criticised  in  parts  (Cf.  Auk  2,  pp.  86-88,  1885)  and  in  the 
present  edition  some  of  its  statements  have  been  modified,  although  others 
still  remain  open  to  question.

Baird — 1858,  Coues — 1873,  Ridgway — 1880,  and  Coues — 1882,  and  the  geo- 
graphical distribution  of  each  form  is  noted.  This  check-list  occupies  pp.  72-

(Cf.  "Abridged  Ed.,"  1889;  "Second  Ed.,"  1895;  "Third  Ed.,"  1910).  The 
"Supplement"  to  the  first  edition  was  issued  in  book  form  1889  (q.v.);  later

A  list  of  1492  species  of  birds  in  the  collection  of  Antoine  Nicolas  Francois,  Comte 
de  Riocour.  The  list  is  arranged  in  three  columns  giving  serial  number,  ver- 
nacular name  and  Latin  name  of  each  species  with  the  names  of  genera,  families, 
tribes  and  orders  centered  above  in  their  proper  places.  Vieillot  described 
many  new  species  from  this  collection,  and  it  is  possible  that  he  was  involved 
in  the  preparation  of  this  catalogue,  but  the  authorship  is  not  given.  The 
generic  name  Avcrano  appears  herein  for  the  first  time,  with  inclusion  of  "A. 
carottculatus"  and  "nudi-collis."  As  neither  of  these  species  was  included  in 
that  genus  as  proposed  by  Lesson  in  his  "Traite  d'Ornithologie,"  1830-31,  it 
becomes  necessary  to  select  a  type  species  for  the  genus  as  here  proposed,  and 


12     FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

accordingly  I  designate  A.  caronculatus  [  =  Procnias  alba  (Hermann)]  as  such. 
The  generic  name  Evrilenus  is  also  proposed,  based  on  Eurilenus  nasicus.  The 
latter  appears  to  be  the  same  as  Erolla  nasica  \  =  Cymbirhynchus  macrorhynchus 
(Gmelin)  ]  described  by  Lesson  in  the  "Traite  d'Ornithologie"  in  1830-31 ;  both 
genus  and  species  in  the  present  catalogue  are  nomina  nuda. 

Another  catalogue  of  this  collection  was  published  in  1889  by  Boucard  (q.v.).

Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  XIX,  1919)  says  that  this  work 
was  issued  in  32  parts  over  a  period  of  26  months.  If  the  date  on  the  title-page 
is  correct,  the  work  must  have  begun  in  1800.  The  extent  and  separate  dates 
of  the  individual  parts  is  not  known.  The  present  copy  is  one  of  a  probably 
limited  number  with  the  inscriptions  on  the  plates  lettered  in  gold.

Descriptions  of,  and  notes  on,  the  birds  of  Egypt  and  Syria,  based  on  the  14 
plates  published  by  Savigny  in  1810  (q.v.)  in  Vol.  I,  livraison  i,  of  the  "Descrip- 
tion de  1'Egypte."  The  discussion  of  these  plates  was  begun  by  Savigny  in 
the  text  accompanying  the  plates  (Livr.  i)  under  the  title  of  "Systeme  des 
Oiseaux  de  1'  Egypte  et  de  la  Syrie"  (q.v.).  This  discussion  was  never  completed 
by  him,  and  the  entire  subject  was  delegated  by  the  French  government  to 
Audouin,  whose  contribution,  here  reprinted,  was  first  published  in  about 
1826;  in  Part  4  of  the  "Histoire  Naturelle,  Tome  Premier,"  pp.  251-318  and 
336-339,  of  the  "Description".  The  above  verbatim  transcription,  however, 
is  taken  from  the  Panckouke  edition  of  1820-30  where  it  occupies  pp.  302-430 
and  450-456  of  Vol.  XXIII,  published  in  1828.  The  differences  between  the 
two  editions  are  not  collated  in  the  reprint,  although  the  index  (p.  139)  contains 
references  to  both.

Biography,"  q.v.)  in  87  parts  of  5  plates  each.  Scientific  and  common  names 
are  given  on  the  plates  and  47  specific  names  must  date,  therefore,  from  the 
present  work  and  not  from  the  subsequent  text.  The  dates  of  the  various 
parts  are  not  clear.  Many  of  the  plates  are  dated,  but  some  are  not  and  the 
dates  which  are  given  do  not  always  coincide  with  other  available  data.  For 
example,  pll.  286,  288  and  291-300  are  dated  1836  but  are  included  in  Vol.  Ill 
which  bears  the  dates  of  1834-35,  and  they  were  received  at  the  Philadelphia 
Academy  on  October  2,  1835  (Cf.  Stone,  Auk,  23,  pp.  301-302,  1906);  Vol.  IIII 
is  dated  1835-38  but  its  plates  are  all  dated  1836,  1837  or  1838.  Other  data 
are  given  by  Stone  (I.e.). 

Pll.  I-X  were  originally  prepared  by  W.  H.  Lizars,  Edinburgh,  in  1826  and 
1827,  but  difficulties  regarding  delivery  and  workmanship  caused  Audubon  to 
transfer  his  project  to  other  hands  and  the  later  plates  were  prepared  by  Robert 
Havell  of  London.  Some  of  the  earlier  plates  were  retouched  by  the  latter  and 
bear  a  double  imprint,  while  others  bear  only  Havell's  name  and  may  have  been 
entirely  re-engraved,  although  there  is  some  doubt  about  the  latter  point. 
In  the  copy  at  hand,  pll.  VIII  and  IX  are  marked  as  engraved  by  W.  H.  Lizars; 
I,  II,  VI,  and  VII,  as  engraved  by  W.  H.  Lizars  and  retouched  by  R.  Havell, 
Junr.,  II  and  VII  being  dated  1829;  III,  IV,  V,  and  X,  as  engraved,  printed 
and  coloured  by  R.  Havell;  XI  et  seq.  are  of  the  regular  issue,  by  Havell.  Stone 
(I.e.,  p.  300)  records  the  copy  in  the  library  of  the  Philadelphia  Academy  as 
of  the  same  composition.  The  435  copper-plate  engravings,  colored  by  hand, 
contain  1065  life-sized  figures  of  489  supposedly  distinct  species.  The  only 
reissue  of  the  plates  in  original  dimensions  was  made  in  1860,  consisting  of  an 
incomplete  series  of  lithograph  copies,  greatly  inferior  to  the  originals  (Cf.  ed. 
1860-61).  Other  editions  of  the  text,  with  the  plates  reduced  to  8vo  and 
inserted  in  the  letterpress,  were  numerous,  the  first  being  by  Audubon  himself 
in  1840-44  (Cf.  "Ornithological  Biography,"  1831-39).

A  separate  issue  of  Vol.  I  of  the  author's  work  (q.v.,  published  in  Edinburgh  in 
5  vols.,  1831-39).  It  differs  in  some  particulars  from  the  Edinburgh  edition. 
Some  of  the  wording  of  the  introduction  is  altered;  that  of  the  general  text 
appears  to  be  the  same  with  minor  changes  in  punctuation  and  the  correction 
of  at  least  one  error  (on  p.  381,  reference  to  pi.  85  in  place  of  75).  In  the 
table  of  contents,  several  more  specific  names  are  in  lower-case  type  than  in  the 
Edinburgh  copy.  The  letterpress  is  parallel,  to  a  considerable  degree,  line  for

line,  but  there  are  many  places  where  differences  exist;  page-references  to  spe- 
cies, however,  remain  the  same.  In  the  present  copy,  an  unfriendly  critic  has 
made  various  marginal  notes  in  pencil.  The  sixteen  pages  of  advertising  at 
the  close  of  the  volume  consist  of  a  prospectus  of  the  folio,  "Birds  of  America," 
with  a  list  of  the  one  hundred  plates  in  Vol.  I  of  that  work  and  the  year  of 
publication  of  each  plate.  Extracts  from  reviews  and  a  list  of  subscribers  are 
added.  This  advertisement  is  not  in  the  copy  at  hand  of  the  Edinburgh  edition. 
Another  edition  of  Vol.  I  exists,  published  in  1835  by  E.  L.  Carey  and  A.  Hart, 
Philadelphia  (Cf.  W.  C.  Braislin,  Auk.  35,  pp.  360-362,  1918.).

volumes  are  reduced  to  synonymy  in  the  appendix,  making  502  species  treated 
in  the  whole  work  and  491  species  recognized  at  its  close.  Two  of  the  sup- 
pressed species  have  since  been  re-established.  Of  the  total,  29  species  date 
from  this  work.  The  introduction  to  Vol.  I  is  dated  March,  183 1 ;  II,  December 
i,  1834;  III,  December  i,  1835;  IV,  November  i,  1838;  and  V,  May  i,  1839. 
In  addition  to  this  Edinburgh  edition,  Vol.  I  was  published  also  in  Philadelphia 
in  1831  and  again  in  1835  (Cf.  1831  ed.),  and  Vol.  II  was  published  in  Boston 
in  1835  (q-v.). 

In  1839,  Audubon  published  his  "A  Synopsis  of  the  Birds  of  North  America" 
(q.v.),  making  considerable  changes  in  nomenclature,  arranging  the  species 
systematically,  and  forming  an  index  to  the  present  work  and  to  the  plates. 
In  1840-1844,  text  and  plates  (the  latter  reduced  in  size)  were  issued  together 
under  the  original  title  of  "The  Birds  of  America"  (q.v.).  Other  8vo  editions 
followed  in  1856,  1859,  1860,  1861,  1863,  1865  and  1871  (Cf.  eds.  of  1859,  1860 
and  1871.).  In  1860,  there  commenced  a  reproduction  of  the  plates  in  litho- 
graph of  the  original  size,  accompanied  by  the  text  (Cf.  ed.  of  186061.),  but 
the  work  was  interrupted  and  never  resumed.  The  text  was  also  reissued  in 
1856  without  plates.  For  complete  bibliography,  see  Stone,  Auk,  23,  pp.  298-

Vol.  II  of  the  author's  "Ornithological  Biography"  was  published  in  Boston  the 
year  following  the  corresponding  volume  of  the  Edinburgh  edition  (q.v.),  and 
is  the  only  volume  with  a  Boston  imprint.  The  present  copy  is  included  in  the 
Edinburgh  set  at  hand,  in  place  of  the  proper  number  which  is  missing.  W.  C. 
Braislin  (Auk,  35,  pp.  361-362)  says  that  this  American  edition  of  Vol.  II 
differs  on  every  page  from  the  Edinburgh  edition.

This  work  consists  of  a  systematic  classification  of  the  birds  treated  in  the  folio, 
"Birds  of  America,"  and  "Ornithological  Biography,"  with  references  to  the 
plates  and  the  text,  respectively.  Two  species  given  in  the  "Biography"  are 
suppressed  and  two  others  added  making  the  total  the  same,  491  spp.  The 
work  is  sometimes  ascribed  largely  to  Macgiilivray,  to  whom  acknowledgments

The  original  8vo  edition  of  this  title.  The  purely  ornithological  text  of  Audubon's 
"Ornithological  Biography,"  1831-39  (q.v.),  revised  and  rearranged  by  the 
author  according  to  his  "A  Synopsis  of  the  Birds  of  North  America,"  1839 
(q.v.),  with  much  additional  matter  but  with  the  "Delineation  of  American 
Scenery  and  Manners"  omitted.  The  plates  are  modified  copies  of  those  of 
the  original  folio,  "The  Birds  of  America,"  1827-38  (q.v.),  reduced  by  camera 
lucida  and  lithographed.  Some  of  the  backgrounds  are  entirely  changed, 
others  greatly  modified,  and  the  original  composition  is  altered  so  that  but 
one  species  is  represented  on  a  plate.  In  the  case  of  four  species,  each  occupies 
two  plates,  and  in  one  case  (pi.  88),  the  figures  of  two  originals  (pll.  XXXV 
and  XCV)  have  been  combined  on  one  plate.  There  are  7  species  of  the 
"Ornithological  Biography"  and  "Synopsis"  which  are  figured  here  for  the 
first  time  and  1 7  new  forms  are  added  in  an  appendix.  The  plates  are  rearranged 
in  accordance  with  the  text  and  renumbered  in  sequence  to  correspond.  In 
Vol.  Ill  the  names  on  pll.  187  and  188  are  transposed,  and,  curiously  enough, 
this  error  is  perpetuated  throughout  all  the  subsequent  8vo  editions  of  the  work. 
This  edition,  which  is  the  only  8vo  published  by  the  author  himself,  was  issued 
in  loo  parts,  14  of  which  are  found  in  each  of  Vols.  I-VI,  and  16  in  Vol.  VII.

An  early  republication  of  the  8vo  edition  of  Audubon,  differing  in  various  particu- 
lars from  the  original  8vo  of  1840-44.  Coues  lists  an  1856  edition,  published 
like  the  present  one  by  V.  G.  Audubon,  which  is  said  to  have  no  regular  pub- 
lisher's imprint  and  to  differ  from  the  original  8vo  only  in  the  title-pages  and 
in  the  pagination,  while  the  plates  remain  the  same,  therefore  with  plain, 
uncolored  backgrounds;  but  according  to  Herrick  (Auk,  36,  p.  377,  1919),  the 
plates  of  this  edition  had  colored  backgrounds,  so  they  are  probably  the  same 
as  in  the  edition  in  hand.  A  reissue  was  published  in  1859  and  again  the 
following  year  in  the  present  form.  Vol.  Ill  of  the  present  set  belongs  to  the 
1859  edition  (q.v.).  The  edition  in  hand  differs  from  the  original  8vo  of  1840-44, 
in  title-pages  and  in  plates,  while  the  pagination  appears  to  approximate  very 
closely  that  recorded  by  Coues  for  the  1856  edition.  It  is  the  same  text,  reset, 
without  the  appended  lists  of  new  subscribers,  as  presented  in  the  original  8vo, 
and  runs  line  for  line  and  page  for  page  with  occasional  departures.  The  plates, 
however,  are  distinctly  different  in  one  way  or  another.  A  universal  change 
appears  to  be  in  the  inscriptions  which  are  in  distinctly  larger  type.  The  plain 
backgrounds  of  the  original  8vo  are  replaced  by  tinted  ones;  those  which  were 
tinted  are  altered  in  tone  or  some  minor  detail.  Many  of  the  elaborate  scenic 
backgrounds  of  the  original  folio,  which  were  modified  or  eliminated  in  the  first 
8vo,  have  been  replaced  and  in  some  cases  the  size  of  the  figures  has  been 
altered  in  consequence.  The  plates  thus  approximate  those  of  the  folio  much 
more  closely  than  do  those  of  the  first  reduction  but  are  inferior,  in  general 
execution,  to  the  latter  which  were  prepared  under  the  supervision  of  the

author  himself.  These  plates  were  afterwards  used  in  subsequent  8vo  editions 
(Cf.  ed.  1871.)  where,  however,  they  were  accompanied  by  other  changes, 
noticeably  that  of  the  increase  in  the  number  of  volumes.  The  present  edition 
bears  the  copyright  of  1839  and  was  printed  by  R.  Craighead.

The  only  edition  of  Audubon's  work,  subsequent  to  the  first,  1827-38  (q.v.), 
with  the  plates  in  double  elephant.  Interrupted  by  the  Civil  War  and  never 
resumed.  According  to  a  prospectus  of  the  work  (Cf.  Herrick,  "Audubon  the 
Naturalist"  2,  pp.  389-390,  1917),  the  publication  was  scheduled  to  appear  in 
45  numbers,  44  of  which  were  to  contain  10  pll.  on  7  sheets  in  each;  the  last 
number  to  comprise  the  7  vols.  of  text  but  to  be  issued  with  the  fifteenth 
number.  Numbers  16-44  were  never  issued.  The  plates  are  all  dated  1858, 
1859  or  1860.  They  appeared  without  sequence  but  were  numbered  so  as  to 
make  final  arrangement  more  or  less  possible  in  accordance  with  the  text. 
Each  plate,  therefore,  carries  the  number  of  the  part  and  series  in  the  upper 
left  hand  corner  thus,  "i-i,"  "1-2,"  etc.  to  "15-10,"  and  the  final  number  in 
the  upper  right  hand  corner.  This  final  number  in  most  cases  agrees  with  the 
numbering  of  the  species  (or  plate)  in  the  author's  "Synopsis,"  1839,  or  8vo 
"Birds  of  America,"  1840-44.  Many  of  the  sheets  contain  two  plates,  as 
advertised,  and  each  of  these  is  separately  numbered.  The  following  plates 
are  included  in  the  fifteen  numbers: — 3,  7,  14,  16,  18-22,  34,  43,  44-48  (47

In  1867,  Lucy  Audubon  prepared  a  memoir  of  her  husband,  John  James  Audubon, 
which  was  accepted  for  publication  by  the  London  firm  of  publishers  (above 
mentioned)  and  placed  in  the  hands  of  Buchanan  for  editing.  The  work  con- 
sisted principally  of  extracts  from  Audubon's  diary.  Buchanan  deleted  four- 
fifths  of  the  work  and  added  numerous  (more  or  less  unfriendly)  comments  in 
the  form  of  a  running  narrative  to  bind  the  fragments  together,  and  the  present 
work  is  the  result,  appearing  in  the  first  edition  in  1868.  The  publishers  refused 
to  return  the  original  manuscript  to  Mrs.  Audubon,  and  much  unique  material 
was  thus  lost.  In  1869,  Mrs.  Audubon  issued  "The  Life  of  John  James  Audu- 
bon, the  Naturalist"  (q.v.,  ed.  1890)  which  is  substantially  the  same  work  as 
the  present,  with  the  omission  of  objectionable  matter  and  the  inclusion  of 
some  other  passages  (Cf.  Francis  H.  Herrick,  "Audubon  the  Naturalist"  Vol. 
I,  pp.  18-22,  1917).

•These  two  plates,  both  numbered  88  in  the  index  but  one  wrongly  inscribed  89,  are  copies  of  pll. 
XCV  and  XXXV  of  the  original  folio.  They  represent  the  Yellow  Poll  and  Children's  Warblers, 
respectively,  Audubon  considered  these  as  distinct  in  his  "Ornithological  Biography,"  but 
united  them  in  his  "Synopsis"  and  his  8vo  "Birds  of  America,"  and  for  the  latter  work  combined 
parts  of  the  two  original  plates  to  form  a  composite  which  was  published  as  pi.  88  in  the  rear- 
ranged series.  The  present  edition  copies  the  original  plates  but  uses  the  revised  serial  number; 
hence  there  are  two  plates,  both  correctly  numbered  88.

The  last,  or  a  reprint  of  the  last,  complete  edition  of  Audubon's  work  on  the  birds 
of  America.  It  is  not  dated  and  does  not  agree  exactly  with  any  recorded  edition 
which  I  can  find,  so  I  am  not  certain  as  to  its  date  of  issue.  There  is  an  edition 
of  1865  in  8  vols.  (said  by  Coues  to  be  a  later  edition  of  J.  W.  Audubon's 
reissue  of  1861,  but  in  8  vols.  instead  of  7),  which  I  have  not  seen;  hence  I  can 
not  point  out  the  differences  between  it  and  the  present  set.  The  edition  of 
1871  (without  imprinted  date),  as  recorded  by  Coues,  agrees  almost  exactly 
with  that  in  hand,  but  Herrick  (Audubon  the  Naturalist,  2,  p.  409,  1917), 
referring  to  the  same  edition,  says  that  the  biography  of  Audubon  (pp.  I-XV 
of  Vol.  I)  is  signed  "G.  R.  L[ockwood].,  1870."  In  the  copy  at  hand,  this 
biography  is  unsigned;  hence  the  present  edition  may  be  a  reprint  of  the  1871 
edition,  of  later  date.  It  bears  the  copyright  of  1870.  The  plates  are  those  of 
the  1859-60  edition  without  changes  other  than  those  attributable  to  the  use 
of  worn  copperplates,  on  account  of  which  they  are  inferior  to  the  earlier  issues.

The  second  title-page  in  the  copy  at  hand,  differing  from  the  first  title-page  in 
the  absence  of  date  and  publisher's  imprint,  may  have  been  intended  for  use 
in  dividing  the  work  into  two  parts  (letterpress  and  plates?);  a  bookseller's

i  vol.  4to,  pp.  XVII-LVI.   Washington.   October  1858. 

A  reprint  (supplied  with  a  new  title-page)  of  the  same  numbered  pages  of  Vol. 
IX  of  the  U.  S.  Pacific  Railroad  Surveys  "Reports  of  Explorations  and  Surveys," 
etc.  (q.v.).  In  1859,  the  list  was  reprinted  in  8vo  in  greatly  altered  form  and 
issued  in  Vol.  II  (as  Art.  IV)  of  the  Smithsonian  Miscellaneous  Collections. 
In  its  new  form  it  consisted  of  a  simple  list  of  names  in  Latin  and  English,  with 
serial  numbers,  and  without  any  indication  of  the  distribution  of  species  as 
given  in  the  original;  it  was  designed,  according  to  the  introduction,  to  facilitate 
the  labelling  of  specimens  and  to  serve  the  purposes  of  a  check-list.  According 
to  Coues,  some  copies  were  issued,  printed  on  but  one  side  of  the  paper,  for 
further  use  in  labelling  specimens.

The  main  body  of  text  (pp.  1-1005)  is  identical  with  the  same  pages  in  Vol.  IX 
of  the  U.  S.  Pacific  Railroad  Surveys,  "Reports  of  Explorations,"  etc.  (q.v.), 
and  pp.  I-VI  represent  pp.  III-VII  of  the  same,  reset  and  dated  "October  20,

one  of  them  (Hdminthophaga  virginiae)  new  and  none  of  them  mentioned  in

disturbing  the  original  letterpress  of  the  general  text.  Pp.  1 1  I-XI  of  the  Atlas 
are  identical  with  VII-XV  of  the  text.  Pll.  I-XIV,  XVI-XXV,  XXVII-XXXI,

The  final  form  of  this  paper.  It  was  originally  issued  in  sheets,  as  fast  as  it  was 
printed,  and  distributed  to  various  ornithologists  for  the  purpose  of  eliciting 
criticisms  and  suggestions,  but  was  not  (according  to  a  statement  in  the  original 
edition)  distributed  to  libraries  or  put  in  general  circulation.  These  sheets 
are  all  signed  with  the  date  of  issue  (running  from  June  1864  to  June  1866)  and 
the  numerous  new  names  in  the  work  must  be  quoted  from  the  dates  of  the 
sheets  on  which  they  appeared.  Pagination  extended  only  to  p.  450,  and  the 
title-page  was  slightly  different  from  the  present  one.  Later,  for  the  present 
edition,  the  title-page  was  changed,  the  preliminary  advertisement  altered,  an 
introduction  written,  the  table  of  contents  completed  (to  include  the  Vireonidae, 
Ampelidae  and  Laniidae),  and  a  list  of  species  and  alphabetical  index  added 
on  pp.  450-478,  and  the  work  was  reissued  in  one  volume.  The  final  signature 
is  dated  January  1873,  although  the  title-pagr  cites  1864-72  only.  Citation  of 
"Smithsonian  Miscellaneous  Collections,  181"  would  seem  to  be  correctly  made 
only  to  the  original  issue,  or  to  the  present  one  when  qualified  as  "Reissue."

of  the  introduction  (pp.  XI-XIV,  Vol.  I)  relating  to  birds  as  distinguished  from 
other  vertebrates.  Coues  prepared  the  tables  of  the  orders  and  families  (pp.

The  general  plan  of  the  work  is  much  the  same  as  that  of  its  predecessor  but 
modern  nomenclature  is  adopted  with  other  changes  necessary  to  bring  the

prefixed  by  a  brief  characterization  of  the  "general  appearance"  and  followed 
by  remarks  on  note,  song,  habitat  and  range,  forming  the  descriptive  or  diag- 
nostic introduction  to  each  species.  The  general  text  for  each  species  follows, 
with  notes  on  habits  and  economic  importance,  much  of  which  is  quoted  from 
other  sources.  The  species  are  arranged  in  three  groups,  winter  birds,  early 
spring  birds  and  later  spring  birds,  and  lists  are  given  under  the  first  two 
headings.

Descriptions  of  the  animals,  plants  and  minerals  of  French  Guiana.  The  birds 
occupy  pp.  121-148  in  the  second  part  (pp.  121-215)  devoted  to  animals  and 
minerals.  The  species  are  grouped  in  genera  arranged  alphabetically.  Since  the 
book  is  pre-Linnean,  none  of  the  names  are  tenable,  but  the  descriptions  often 
form  the  basis  for  names  afterwards  applied  by  Linne".  The  work  is  rare.  It  is

A  natural  history  of  the  birds  and  mammals  of  Germany.  Full  descriptions  and 
discussions  are  given,  and  a  number  of  new  species  and  genera  are  described. 
Vol.  I,  part  of  Appendix  II  of  Vol.  Ill  and  part  of  Appendix  II  of  Vol.  IV 
relate  to  mammals;  the  remainder  of  the  work  is  ornithological. 

The  ornithological  volumes,  II-IV,  are  also  considered  as  Vols.  I-III  oi 
"Gemeinnutzige  Naturgeschichte  der  Vogel  Deutschlands."  Vol.  IV  of  the 
present  set  bears  an  additional  title-page  thus  lettered  (cited  above  after  the 
general  title),  and  a  half-title  lettered  in  accordance,  "Dritter  Band."  The  half- 
title  of  the  third  volume  of  the  set  also  reads,  "Dritter  Band,"  referring  to  the 
general  series. 

Supplement  I  of  Vol.  Ill  (pp.  583-741)  contains  a  review  of  the  "Vorstellung 
der  Vogel  Deutschlands"  by  Johann  Leonhard  Frisch,  1733-63,  (Cf.  ed.  1817.),

A  revised  and  enlarged  edition  of  the  author's  previous  work  of  the  same  title, 
1789-95  (q.v.).  A  special  title  is  given  to  the  first  volume,  which  deals  entirely 
with  mammals,  and  one  to  the  last  three  volumes,  which  deal  with  birds  and 
which  are  given  also  a  new  series  of  volume-numbers.  The  special  titles  are 
quoted  above;  Vol.  I  of  the  ornithological  series  is  Vol.  II  of  the  original  work

A  condensed  handbook  of  the  birds  of  Germany,  with  brief  descriptions,  biblio- 
graphic references,  vernacular  names,  accounts  of  distribution,  nidification, 
etc.,  arranged  by  paragraphs.  Several  new  species  are  described  but  are  desig- 
nated simply  "mihi"  as  are  the  other  species  previously  described  elsewhere  by 
Bechstein,  making  it  necessary  to  check  all  such  references  to  determine  their 
novelty.  Pages  463-484  of  Vol.  II  contains  a  calendar  in  which  are  listed  the 
birds  which  may  be  seen  during  each  month,  according  to  their  status  as 
migrants,  residents,  etc.  Engelmann  notes  a  third  volume  under  date  of  1812, 
issued  also  separately  under  the  title,  "Gattungskennzeichen  der  Vogel."  This 
I  have  not  seen,  but  Bechstein,  on  a  preliminary  leaf  of  Vol.  I  of  the  present 
work,  says  that  Vol.  II  will  contain  "Zwey  grossen  Flatten  die  Kennzeichen  der 
Gattungen."  These  are  not  in  Vol.  II  and  perhaps  may  form  the  basis  of  the 
third  volume  issued  much  later.  A  second  edition  of  the  present  work  appeared 
in  1811-12.

the  publishers,  although  a  colored  edition  was  issued  the  same  year.  Sweet's

An  elaborate,  sumptuous  work  describing  in  detail,  so  far  as  known,  the  appear- 
ance and  habits  of  all  the  species  of  pheasants.  Special  expeditions  were  made 
by  the  author  to  secure  the  materials  on  which  much  of  this  work  is  based.  The 
illustrations,  including  portraits  of  birds  and  photographs  of  habitat  and  scenery 
in  the  ranges  of  the  various  species,  add  much  to  the  beauty  and  value  of  the 
volumes.

species,  as  well  as  to  give  a  catalogue  of  all  the  species  known  to  occur  in  the

account  discusses  295  species.  It  was  prepared  originally  as  a  report  submitted 
to  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  and  consists  of  the  author's  own  observa- 
tions and  those  of  other  workers,  each  of  whom  is  credited  with  his  respective 
contributions  under  each  species.  The  work  forms  a  summary  of  the  knowledge

One  of  the  earliest  works  dealing  entirely  with  birds.  The  subject  is  discussed 
from  a  variety  of  aspects.  Book  i  (pp.  1-80  )is  of  a  general  nature  and,  among 
other  things,  presents  a  comparison  between  the  skeletons  of  birds  and  men, — 
probably  (according  to  Newton's  "Dictionary  of  Birds")  the  first  published 
account  of  this  subject.  Book  2  (pp.  81-148)  discusses  "la  natvre  des  oyseavx 
vivants  de  rapine";  3,  "des  oyseavx  vivants  le  long  des  rivieres,  ayants  le  pied 
plat";  4,  idem  "qvi  n'ont  le  pied  plat";  5,  "des  oyseavx  de  campagne,  qvi  sont 
leurs  nids  sur  terre";  6,  "des  oyseavx  qui  habitent  indifferement" ;  and  7,  "des 
oysillons,  qvi  hantent  les  hayes,  buschettes,  &  buissons." 

The  fly-leaf  of  the  present  copy  contains  a  manuscript  bibliography  of  Belon 
(listing  6  titles)  and  a  brief  biographical  note.

mation relative  to  the  life-histories  and  habits  of  the  birds  in  question.  The 
illustrations  consist  of  photographs  of  nests,  nesting  sites  and  birds,  and  of 
figures  of  the  eggs  of  certain  species,  all  but  one  in  natural  colors.  The  work  is 
rendered  more  valuable  by  data  contributed  by  a  large  corps  of  voluntary

The  above  collation  of  pages  and  plates  is  according  to  the  arrangement  proposed 
in  the  indices  of  the  two  volumes.  The  present  copy,  however,  is  bound  in  a 
different  and  rather  curious  manner.  The  text  occupies  one  volume  as  follows. 
3  pr.  11.  of  Vol.  I,  pp.  1-16  (introd.),  20  11.  (general  description  of  the  families 
belonging  in  Vol.  I,  arranged  according  to  their  serial  number,  and  index  to 
Vol.  I),  2  pr.  11.  of  Vol.  II,  33  11.  (families  belonging  in  Vol.  II,  and  index  to 
Vol.  II),  134  11.  (descrs.  of  species,  arranged  according  to  the  numbering  on 
the  plates,  including  the  two  extra  11.  for  pll.  62  and  87).  The  plates  are  bound 
in  two  volumes.  The  double-sized  plates,  31,  36,  39,  42,  55,  56,  74,  76,  85,  86, 
101-103  and  107  are  included  in  one  volume  (double  elephant  folio)  without 
title.  The  remainder  are  arranged  according  to  serial  number  and  prefaced  by 
the  illuminated  title  which  is  properly  the  frontispiece  to  Vol.  I  of  the  text  and 
plates  combined. 

The  work  was  planned  to  be  issued  in  parts  of  i  or  2  pll.  and  8  or  4  sheets  of  text 
each,  according  to  a  note  in  the  Journ.  fur  Orn.,  1866  (pp.  43-46), a  scheme  which 
seems  to  have  been  carried  out.  The  Journal  reviews  Pts.  I-in  with  pll.  1-6, 
under  date  of  Jan.  17,  1866.  In  the  same  periodical  for  1867  (pp.  278-81,  under 

•There  are  two  different  texts  for  pi.  62,  both  describing  the  same  species  but  differing  slightly 
from  each  other.  One  is  headed  'Pallenura  sulphurea'  and  the  other  'Budytes  flava'.  PI.  62 
is  lettered  'Budytes  flava1  but  there  is  a  printed  slip  pasted  on  one  side  of  the  plate  which 
bears  the  other  name.  Likewise  (in  Vol.  II)  there  are  two  issues  of  text  for  P).  87.  differing 
somewhat  from  each  other.  One  is  headed  'Lanius  excubitur'  and  the  other  'Lanius  excubitor',

106,  108,  no  and  VII,  and  says  that  the  work  is  "finished  by  the  publication 
of  its  forty-sixth  part."  Taschenburg  says  that  the  book  appeared  in  53 
fasciculi,  but  this  figure  is  less  than  the  number  accounted  for  by  other  sources 
of  information. 

The  text  appears  to  have  been  issued  for  each  volume  in  some  sort  of  order  since 
the  fasciculi  are  numbered  separately  for  Vols.  I  and  II.  However,  the  plates, 
with  a  few  omissions,  appeared  in  numerical  sequence,  which  is  not  the  order 
of  arrangement  in  the  volumes.  Apparently  the  text  and  plates  in  each  fascicu- 
lus did  not  correspond  or  else  the  citation  of  fasciculi  as  quoted  above  for 
Vol.  I  and  Vol.  II  is  misleading. 

On  the  obverse  of  the  first  page  of  text  to  Phasianus  colchicus  (PL  57)  is  a  dis- 
cussion of  the  "Fagiana  acclimati  in  Lombardia"  by  F.  Sordelli.

The  rare  first  edition,  including  the  first  issue  of  Vol.  I.  A  second  edition  of 
Vol.  I  is  said  by  Newton  (Diet,  of  Birds,  introd.  p.  20,  footn.  i,  1893)  to  have 
been  published  probably  the  following  year  although  it  bears  the  same  date, 
1797,  on  the  title-page.  According  to  Newton  (I.e.),  the  second  issue  is  dis- 
tinguished by  having  an  inscription  "Wycliffe,  1791"  at  the  foot  of  the  figure 
of  the  Sea  Eagle  on  p.  1 1  and  a  misprint  on  p.  145  of  Sahxniclus  for  Schxniclus. 
Mullens  and  Swann  add  the  following  distinguishing  features  of  the  first  issue:

figure  of  the  magpie  has  a  stump  with  two  branches  in  the  foreground. 

The  text  of  Vol.  I  was  written  by  Beilby;  Vol.  II  is  wholly  the  work  of  Bewick. 
The  work  is  usually  cited  as  "Bewick's  British  Birds"  in  spite  of  the  dula

authorship.  The  woodcuts  are  all  the  work  of  Bewick.  The  233  cuts  listed 
as  ornithological,  include  the  specific  bird  portraits  and  the  representations  of 
feathers  and  heads.  Many  of  the  smaller  cuts  also  contain  figures  of  birds  but 
these  are  mostly  incidental  and  not  of  especial  importance.  It  is  for  the  wood- 
cuts that  the  work  is  mostly  valued;  the  text  is  largely  a  compilation  of  the 
works  of  Pennant,  Albin,  Belon,  and  Willughby  and  Ray.  The  volumes 
passed  through  eight  editions  of  which  the  last  two,  in  1832  and  1847,  were 
issued  after  the  death  of  Bewick  (1828).  A  supplement  to  this  work  was 
issued  by  Bewick  in  1821  (q.v.)

A  catalogue  of  the  ornithological  collection  of  the  Society,  which  embraced  speci- 
mens from  all  parts  of  the  world.     Synonymy  and  distribution  and  a  list  of 
the  specimens  of  each  species  are  given.     A  number  of  new  names  are  used, 
some  with  descriptions,  some  without.     Owing  to  delay  in  printing,  the  autho 
found  it  necessary  to  add  appendices  1-6,  addenda  to  appendices  1-5  anc 
"Further  addenda  to  appendix,  No.  i."  at  the  close  of  the  general  text,  an 
addenda  to  appendices  1-5,  another  appendix  6,  still  further  addenda  to  appen

the  preface  is  dated  June  20,  1852.     Proof  sheets  of  various  parts  were  sen 
by  Blyth  in  1849  to  certain  of  his  correspondents  who  used  the  new  names  ir

A  verbatim  reprint,  with  all  typographical  and  other  errors,  of  Boddaert's  ex- 
ceedingly rare  work  of  1783.  Boddaert,  on  p.  IX,  observes  that  he  prepared 
the  original  for  his  own  use  but  decided  to  print  50  copies  for  distribution;  of 
these,  a  very  few  copies  are  known  to  be  extant.  The  work  is  a  list  of  Dauben- 
ton's  "Planches  Enluminees"  (Cf.  Buffon,  Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux,  1870- 
86.),  1008  plates  of  which  973  are  of  birds,  with  their  titles  or  legends  and  with 
the  names,  Latin  or  vernacular,  applied  to  the  same  species  by  Buffon,  Brisson, 
Latham,  Linnaeus,  Edwards  and  others.  To  this  list  of  synonyms  is  some- 
times added  a  new  name  by  the  author,  frequently  identified  as  new  by  the 
term  "mihi",  often  recognizable  only  by  a  species  number  "o"  in  the  quoted 
reference,  and  in  many  cases  without  expressed  authorship.  The  work  abounds 
in  typographical  errors,  some  of  which  involve  the  orthography  of  names,  but, 
fortunately,  many  of  the  errors  can  be  proved  such.  The  importance  of  the 
work  lies  in  the  priority  of  many  of  Boddaert's  generic  and  specific  names  over 
later  accepted  terms,  but  the  inconsistencies  of  the  book  and  its  errors  present 
numerous  problems  which  have  yet  to  be  solved.  A  discussion  of  some  of  the 
problems  is  given  by  G.  M.  Mathews  and  T.  Iredale  in  The  Austral  Avian

The  plates  are  mostly  by  Titian  R.  Peale  (T.  Peal),  and  A.  Rider,  with  part  of 
one  plate  by  Audubon;  engraved  by  Alex  Lawson  and  colored  by  hand.  Ori- 
ginally planned  to  occupy  only  three  volumes;  possibly  Vol.  II  was  expanded 
beyond  its  contemplated  limits  so  as  to  necessitate  its  division  into  two  parts 
(Cf.  Rhoads,  Auk,  XL,  p.  341,  1923.).  This  work  forms  a  sort  of  supplement 
to  Alexander  Wilson's  "American  Ornithology",  1808-14  (q.v.),  and  is  included 
in  Jardine's  later  edition  of  that  work  (1832,  q.v.)  as  a  "Continuation  of 
Wilson's  American  Ornithology  by  Charles  Lucian  Bonaparte".  It  is  included, 
also,  in  the  Jameson  edition  of  1831  (q.v.)  and  the  "Popular  Edition"  of  1864 
(q.v.),  but  under  the  proper  title  of  "Bonaparte's  American  Ornithology".  In 
all  of  these,  however,  Bonaparte's  name  is  joined  with  Wilson's  on  the  title- 
pages.

An  unpaged  reprint  of  a  series  of  articles  published  in  the  Journal  of  the  Academy 
of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia  in  1824  and  1825,  with  additional  matter 
not  in  the  original.  The  work  consists  of  a  critical  review  of  the  species  of 
birds  in  Wilson's  "American  Ornithology",  1808-14  (q.v.),  with  various  pro- 
posed changes  in  nomenclature.  The  original  series  of  articles  discussed  only 
species  Nos.  1-227  of  Wilson's  work;  the  present  volume  completes  the  series 
of  278  species.  New  names,  accordingly,  date  from  the  "Journal  Acad.  Nat. 
Sci.  Phil."  when  they  occur  among  spp.  1-227,  or  from  the  present  work  for 
spp.  228-278.  The  dates  of  publication  of  the  respective  numbers  of  the 
"Journal"  are  given  by  Coues  as  follows.  Vol.  Ill,  Pt.  2,  pp.  340-352  (Nos.

A  list,  in  parallel  columns,  of  247  species  of  birds  of  Rome  and  281  of  Philadelphia, 
arranged  under  their  respective  genera  and  families,  and  intended  to  show  the 
relationship  of  the  two  avifaunas.  Local  vernacular  names  and  brief  annota- 
tions are  given  for  each  species,  together  with  the  scientific  name.  Analytical 
tables  of  the  genera  and  higher  groups  precede  the  catalogue.  The  work 
appears  to  be  a  reprint,  probably  repaged,  from  the  "Nuovo  Giornale  de' 
Letterati".  A  supplement  (q.v.)  was  published  in  1832,  a  copy  of  which  is 
bound  with  the  present  title  in  the  volume  at  hand.

catalogued  the  species  of  birds  with  their  respective  dates.  Salvadori  gives

1  vol.  12  mo,  pp.  1-206.   Brussels. 

A  critical  review  of  Degland's  "Ornithologie  Europeenne",  1849  (q.v.),  in  which 
Bonaparte  finds  much  to  criticise.  Oidemia  deglandi,  described  but  not  named 
by  Degland,  is  named  herein  by  Bonaparte.  Following  the  review,  there  is 
(pp.  115-125)  a  "Conspectus  Systematis  Ornithologiae"  consisting  of  a  sum- 
mary of  all  the  known  subfamilies  and  higher  groups  of  birds  with  their  dis- 
tribution and  the  number  of  species  in  each.  This  is  followed  (pp.  127-206) 
by  a  "Conspectus  Avium  Europaearum"  in  which  530  species  of  European 
birds  are  listed  under  their  genera,  families,  etc.  with  some  synonymy  and  a 
statement  as  to  the  range  of  each.

A  synoptic  list  of  the  genera  of  birds,  with,  except  in  the  Psittaci,  a  complete  list 
of  species  of  each  genus,  the  synonymy  of  each  species  and,  usually,  a  brief 
description.  Published  in  three  parts,  of  which  part  i  included  pp.  1-272; 
part  2,  pp.  273-543  (end  of  Vol.  I);  part  3  (all  published  of  Vol.  II),  pp.  1-232. 
Dr.  Richmond  (Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.  53,  p.  579,  footn.,  1917)  surmised  that 
part  2  began  with  p.  273.  Further  evidence  to  this  effect  is  at  hand  in  the 
present  copy  which  was  received  by  the  Field  Museum  library  in  three  parts, 
as  apportioned  above,  and  catalogued  under  three  numbers,  the  second  of 
which  is  stamped  on  p.  273.  There  is  also  a  manuscript  index  to  Vol.  I  in  the 
copy,  prepared  by  an  earlier  (contemporary?)  owner,  in  which  the  division  of 
parts  i  and  2  is  made  at  pp.  272-273.  Part  i  was  presented  to  the  Paris 
Academy  on  June  24,  1850  (Cf.  Rev.  et.  Mag.  1850,  p.  338.),  although  Bona-

parte  (Comptes  Rendus  Vol.  XXXVII,  p.  423,  Sept.  1850)  quotes  March, 
ostensibly  as  date  of  publication.  Part  2  may  not  have  been  published  until 
1851,  but  it  is  included  in  a  review  of  the  work  (to  date)  by  Lafresnaye,  in  the 
Rev.  et  Mag.  for  January,  1851  (publ.  in  Febr.  but  probably  written  in  Jan.), 
from  a  copy  which  he  had  received  from  Bonaparte  while  in  Holland  some 
time  previously  (Rev.  et  Mag.  1851,  pp.  56-59).  In  Bonaparte's  "Notice  sur 
les  Travaux  Zoologiques  de  M.  Charles-Lucien  Bonaparte — Paris — 1850",  the 
work  is  included  under  date  of  1850  as  being  more  than  two-thirds  published 
and  as  including  the  Passeres, — a  characterization  which  applies  only  to  parts 
i  and  2  together.  The  last  signature  of  part  2  was  printed  on  Nov.  10,  1850, 
and  the  title-page  to  Vol.  I  (parts  i  and  2)  which  was  issued  in  1857,  bears  the 
date,  1850.  I  believe  that  the  assumption  is  justified  that  part  2  appeared  in 
1850  near  the  close  of  the  year. 

Vol.  II  presents  other  difficulties.  It  would  seem  to  have  been  issued  in  one  part 
according  to  an  insert-slip  attached  to  p.  i  of  the  present  copy.  This  slip 
reads  as  follows.  "AVIS  DE  L'EDITEUR.  La  publication  du  second 
volume  du  Conspectus  Generum  Avium,  ne  devrait  avoir  lieu  qu'apr&s  que 
1'ouvrage  serait  entierement  termine". — La  maladie  de  1'illustre  auteur  a

a  d'imprime',  jusqu'ou  le  manuscrit  me  manque.  Un  titre  du  Tom.  I  (complet 
en  543  pages)  est  joint  £  ce  volume.  Leide  i  Octobre  1857.  E.J.B."  The 
title-page  of  Vol.  II  is  dated,  in  accordance,  1857. 

However,  Bonaparte  undoubtedly  distributed  a  number  of  copies  of  the  various 
sheets  of  Vol.  II,  either  as  they  were  printed  or  in  small  groups  of  signatures, 
and  these  were  noted  and  collated  by  some  of  the  recipients  at  the  time  of 
receipt.  Cabanis,  in  the  "Journ.  fur  Orn."  for  Jan.  1855  (p.  96)  notes  pp. 
1-24;  for  March  1855  (p.  192),  pp.  25-56;  for  May  1855  (p.  272),  pp.  57-120; 
for  July  1855  (p.  350),  pp.  121-144;  for  Sept.  1855  (p.  448),  pp.  145-159;  for 
March  1857  (p.  144),  pp.  161-208;  for  Jan.  1858  (p.  96),  pp.  209-232.  Each  of 
these  lots  contains  several  signatures,  variously  dated.  Certain  parts  are  also 
noted  in  the  "Naumannia",  5,  p.  116,  1855;  and  7,  pt.  2,  p.  100,  1857.  G.  R. 
Gray,  "List  of  the  Specimens  of  Birds  in  the  British  Museum",  Pt.  IV,  1856, 
quotes  voluminously  from  this  volume  of  Bonaparte's  work  and  cites  many 
genera  and  species  (the  former  under  date  of  1854)  which  will  have  to  date 
from  Gray's  work  if  Bonaparte  is  considered  as  not  actually  published  until 
1857.  The  genus  Uropelia  will  serve  as  an  example. 

That  the  author  believed  his  work  to  be  published  when  the  parts  were  sent  out, 
is  indicated  by  his  paper  in  the  Comptes  Rendus  for  Nov.  24,  1856,  p.  990, 
which  he  entitles  as  follows.  "Additions  et  Corrections  aux  Tableaux  paral- 
leliques  de  1'Ordre  des  Herons  et  des  Pelagiens  ou  Gavies,  et  a  la  partie  cor- 
respondante,  d£j&  publide,  du  Conspectus  Avium",  etc.  This  paper  makes 
corrections  and  additions  to  pp.  161-206  of  Vol.  II  of  the  "Conspectus",  the 
last  of  which  pages  is  contained  in  a  signature  dated  Febr.  i,  1856.  In  the 
same  periodical  for  Nov.  3,  1856,  p.  833,  a  more  direct  reference  is  made. 
The  paper  there  begun  presents  additions  and  corrections  to  the  author's 
"Coup  d'oeil  sur  I'Ordre  des  Pigeons"  and  corresponding  portions  of  the 
"Conspectus",  and  says,  in  part,  "On  lit  £  la  page  9  du  second  volume  de  mon 
Conspectus  Avium",  etc.;  "place"  page  13  de  mon  Conspectus",  etc.

Bonaparte,  Charles  Lucien  Jules  Laurent. 

1852.  [Unpaged  sheet  without  title.] 

A  rare  tract  of  which  almost  nothing  is  known.  It  contains  a  table  of  the  orders 
of  birds,  a  list  of  the  families  and  subfamilies  of  the  Longipennes,  and  a  'Con- 
spectus Larinarum'  with  the  names,  distribution  and  number  of  included 
species  in  each  of  the  genera  of  the  Larinae.  Finally,  three  new  species  of 
birds  are  described, — Thalassidroma  tethys,  Chelidoptera  albipennis  and  Cya- 
nocitta  Jolyaea.  Reference  is  made  to  the  twenty-ninth  "Versammlung  deut- 
scher  Naturforscher  und  Aerzte  in  Wiesbaden,"  and  the  leaflet  may  bear  some 
connection  with  that  publication.  The  present  copy  was  folded,  sealed  and 
addressed  to  "Baron  Dubus  Directeur  du  Mus£e  de  Bruxelles,"  and  bears,  on 
the  reverse,  two  date-stamps,  one  of  "Frankfurt,  26  Sep  1852"  and  the  other 
of  "Bruxelles  27  Sept  1852".  Its  date  of  publication  is  fixed,  therefore,  at 
about  Sept.  26,  1852.  It  was  reviewed  by  Cabanis  in  the  "Journal  fur  Orni- 
thologie",  Vol.  I,  p.  46,  1853  and  has  always  been  cited  as  dating  from  that 
republication.  The  discovery  of  the  present  copy  of  the  original  paper  assists 
in  placing  the  date  more  nearly  where  it  belongs.  Bound  with  other  papers 
by  Bonaparte.

A  repaged  reprint  of  a  paper  published  by  the  author  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus" 
for  1853,  Vol.  XXXVII,  pp.  641-647.  Most  of  the  text  is  occupied  by  a  list 
of  the  families  and  subfamilies  of  birds  arranged  in  tabular  order.  The  reprint 
is  somewhat  rearranged.  P.  i  contains  9  11.  (of  general  text)  from  p.  641  of 
the  original  and  13  11.  of  p.  642.  P.  2  completes  p.  642  of  the  original  to  which 
has  been  added  the  "Resume"  from  p.  647.  Pp.  3-6  are  reprints  of  pp.  643- 
646,  with  the  matter  occasionally  spaced  differently  in  the  columns  and  with 
at  least  one  misprint  on  p.  6,  "Spheniscid"  for  "Spheniscidae".  This  reprint 
is  bound  with  a  collection  of  separates  and  reprints  of  Bonaparte's  papers.

pp.  i-n  (for  Jan.  2,  1854),  53-66  (for  Jan.  16,  1854),  258-266  (for  Febr.  6, 
1854),  378-389  (for  Febr.  27,  1854),  533-542  (for  March  20,  1854)  and  650- 
665  (for  April  3,  1854).  In  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  May  i,  1854  (Vol. 
XXXVIII,  pp.  800-801),  it  is  announced  that  Bonaparte  presents  to  the 
Academy  a  copy  of  the  reprint  which  he  has  published;  this  fixes  the  date  as 
some  time  in  April  of  that  year. 

The  paper  is  based  on  a  collection  of  birds  made  by  Delattre  in  California  and 
Nicaragua,  but  extends  to  considerably  wider  limits  and  embraces  a  more  or 
less  general  classification  of  the  avian  class.  Many  new  genera  and  species 
were  described  in  the  original  and  still  others  in  the  reprint.  I  have  noticed 
the  following  alterations  in  the  reissue.  P.  2;  "Micractur  dynastes  Verr."  is 
described :  8 ;  Amydrus  ruppelli  and  morio  are  mentioned ;  the  genus  Nabouroupus 
is  established  for  fulvipennis  Sw.:  12;  Xanthornus  flavaxilla  Hahn  is  removed 
from  identity  with  ThUius  cayennensis  and  said  only  to  resemble  a  Thilius: 
19;  Schanicola  is  changed  to  Schaenicola:  24;  " Callir hynchus  peruvianus  Less.?" 
is  newly  described  and  said  to  be  distinct  from  C.  drovoni  Verr.  (it  was  later 
described  as  masesus  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus,"  XLII,  p.  822,  1856):  35; 
Chaetornis  Sw.  and  Chlorepota  Smith  are  mentioned:  36;  Ixonotus  Verr.  is  men- 
tioned; Laedorusa  is  emended  to  Loedorusa:  41 ;  Laedorusa  again  is  emended  to 
Loedorusa:  49;  Alauda  moreatica  emended  to  A.  moreotica:  52;  Myzomelinae 
and  Melithreptinae  in  reversed  order:  61;  Leiotriciens  emended  to  Leiothri- 
ciens:  66;  Chaunonotus  transferred  to  the  Malaconotinae;  Timixos  Blyth  and 
Rhynchastatus  Bp.  mentioned:  67;  Galbulus  Bp.,  Broderipus  Bp.,  Barruffius 
Bp.,  Xanthonotus  Bp.,  Balicassius  Bp.,  Dicranostreptus  Reichb.,  Drongo 
Reichb.,  Musicus  Reichb.  and  Buchanga  Hodgs.  are  included  in  the  tables: 
68;  Pomarea  Bp.,  Charidhylas  Bp.,  Tchitrea  Less.,  Muscipeta  Duv.,  Megabias 
Verr.  and  Todopsis  Bp.,  are  listed;  Muscylvia  Less,  emended  to  Muscisylvia; 
numerous  species  of  Muscicapinae  and  Myiagrinae  interchanged:  69;  Iridisornis 
emended  to  Irisornis:  70;  Lanius  Moris  Cuv.  is  said  not  to  be  an  Ixonotus 
(as  given  in  the  original  paper)  but  is  suggested  as  the  type  of  the  genus 
Meristes  Reichb.  which  Bonaparte  withdraws  from  the  synonymy  of  Archolestes 
Cab.  for  the  purpose;  Cheptia  is  emended  to  Chaptia:  76;  Ceblepyris  caesia 
(cana  Cuv.  and  capensis  auct.)  are  mentioned:  77;  Turdus  phoeniceus  is  placed 
in  the  genus  Lanicterus  with  Campephaga  ( =  Cyrtes  Reichb.)  flava  Temm.  as 
a  synonym :  78 ;  Lanicterus  swainsoni  Less,  is  said  to  be  a  synonym  of  xanthor- 
noides  (  =  atrata  Swains,  and  ater  Less.):  84;  among  the  Ramphastidae,  Ram- 
phomelus  (for  nigrirostris) ,  Ramphoxanthus  (for  prasinus  and  albivitta)  and 
Piperivorus  (for  piperivorus,  viridis,  bailloni,  inscriptus,  etc.)  are  duly  proposed 
and  must  date  from  this  place  and  not  from  the  author's  "Conspectus  Vol. 
Zygodactylorum"  published  in  the  Ateneo  Italiano  for  May  1854,  whence  they 
are  usually  quoted;  Beauharnesius  is  proposed  but  is  a  nomen  nudum;  "Aula- 
corhamphus  castaneirostris  Gould"  is  described  from  "Santa  Martha"  (probably 
intended  for  A.  castaneorhynchus  Gould);  "Piperivorus  humboldti  Bp.  ex 
Wagler"  is  described:  85;  Dryotomus  verrauxi  from  Santa  Martha,  D.  odoardus 
from  Mexico  and  D.  delattrii  from  California  are  all  described  as  new  species: 
86;  D.  scapularis  is  removed  to  a  footnote  where  it  is  compared  to  erythrops:  87; 
Milvulus  tyrannus  is  emended  to  Despotes  tyrannus;  Xenops  genibarbis  is  in- 
cluded (by  mistake?)  in  the  Tyrannidae:  89;  the  number  of  genera  and  species 
cited  for  the  subfamilies  of  hummingbirds  is  altered;  Heliomastes  is  altered  to 


72     FIELD  MUSEUM  OP  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

HeliomasUr;  Chrysurotiia  elicia  is  altered  to  eliciafand  Savcerottia  sophia  to 
sophiae:  91;  there  is  a  footnote  regarding  Ibis  religiosa:  92;  Halyplana  is 
emended  to  Haliplana.  The  title-page,  also,  is  entirely  new.

A  repaged,  revised  reprint  of  a  paper  which  was  issued  in  parts  in  the  "Comptes 
Rendus"  in  1854  and  1855,  Vol.  XXXIX,  pp.  869-880,  1072-1078  and  1102- 
ii  12,  and  Vol.  XL,  pp.  15-24,  96-102  and  205-215.  A  title-page  is  supplied 
for  this  reprint,  and  minor  changes  are  made  in  the  text  here  and  there,  but 
the  general  account  follows  the  original  with  fair  regularity  except  in  the  case 
of  the  discussion  of  the  "Z&iaidiens."  In  the  original  (Vol.  XL,  pp.  20-24 
and  96-102),  the  author  divides  this  group  into  two  series;  in  the  reprint  (pp. 
33-43)  ne  recognizes  four  series  and  rearranges  the  genera  and  species  in  a 
totally  different  manner.  I  have  not  discovered  any  newly  described  genera 
or  species  in  the  reprint,  although  some  names  are  cited  which  are  not  in  the 
original  paper.  Additions  and  corrections  to  the  original  of  this  work  were 
published  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  XLIII,  pp.  833-841  and  942-949,  1856. 
A  reprint  thereof  was  published  the  same  year  (q.v.). 

The  date  of  publication  of  the  present  reprint  is  not  entirely  certain.  Traces 
of  original  wrappers  adhering  to  pp.  9,  1 7  and  41  indicate  that  the  work  appeared 
in  at  least  four  parts  and,  if  so,  the  early  pages  may  have  been  issued  in  1855, 
the  date  of  the  originals  of  those  pages.  The  present  copy  is  bound  with  a 
number  of  other  papers  by  Bonaparte.

A  reprint  of  a  paper  published  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  Oct.  22,  1855,  Vol. 
XLI,  pp.  649-661.  Ostensibly  a  review  of  G.  R.  Gray's  "Genera  and  Sub- 
genera  of  Birds",  1855  (q.v.),  the  paper  expands  into  a  discussion  of  "les  prin- 
cipales  especes  nouvelles  qu'il  vient  d'observer  en  Ecosse  et  en  Angleterre," 
in  which  many  new  names  appear  (in  the  original).  Some  alterations  occur 
in  the  reprint,  mostly  corrections  of  errors.  Spiziopteryx,  Microglaux  lieua, 
Somateria  v.  nigrum,  Mantifringilla,  Malacocichla  deyas,  etc.,  are  changed  to 
Spiziopteryx,  M.  licua,  S.  v.-nigrutn,  Monti fringilla  and  M.  dryas.  Various 
comments  are  emended  and  some  material  is  added  but  I  find  no  new  names

Vol.  XLI,  pp.  1109-1113  and  976-979,  with  arrangement  mixed.  Pp.  1109-

from  the  present  reprint  although  it  was  republished  in  1856  in  a  collection  of 
papers.  (Cf.  [Miscellaneous  reprints],  1856.}.

A  repaged  reprint  of  an  article  published  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  April  2, 
1855,  Vol.  XL,  pp.  718-725.  A  number  of  changes  are  made  in  this  issue. 
The  numbering  of  Subfamilies  8  to  12  and  14  to  18  are  corrected  to  7  to  n 
and  12  to  16,  respectively;  genera  58  and  59  are  transposed;  three  species  are 
removed  from  the  genus  Calherodias  and  placed  in  Nycticorax;  species  48 
(Ardea)  pharaonis  is  emended  to  pharaonica;  species  70,  (Egretta)  egrettoides, 
synonym  "nivea  ?  Cuv."  is  changed  to  "nivea  ?  Cuv.  nee  Auct.";  the  geo- 
graphical table  on  p.  719  is  placed  before  the  systematic  tables  instead  of  at 
the  close  of  the  paper,  and  there  may  be  other  changes.  The  present  copy  is 
bound  with  other  of  Bonaparte's  papers  in  a  composite  volume.

Reprints  of  three  articles  which  appeared  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  1856, 
Vol.  XLIII,  pp.  775-783  (for  Oct.  27),  833-841  (for  Nov.  3),  942-949  (for  Nov. 
i?)»  990-997  (for  Nov.  24)  and  1017-1027  (for  Dec.  i).  Like  in  other  of 
Bonaparte's  reprints,  new  matter  and  new  arrangements  are  introduced  into 
the  present  issue.  The  "Conspectus  Ineptorum"  (pp.  840-841  of  the  original) 
is  placed  before  the  reprint  of  p.  833.  Hemiphaga  forsteri  is  emended  to  H. 
forsteni;  Trocaza  bouvryi  is  emended  to  T.  buvryi;  a  footnote  is  added  to  the 
discussion  of  Leptoptila  brasiliensis;  the  names  Bartramia  longicauda  and 
Actiturus  rufescens  are  introduced;  Rallus  subplumbeus  Sclater  is  described  in 
detail;  the  order  Palmipedes  is  altered  to  Anseres;  footnotes  are  added  giving 
discussions  of  Anser  caerulescens,  A.  panripes,  A.  rufescens  and  A.  melanopterus; 
a  paragraph  on  Chloephaga  is  added  and  one  on  a  hybrid  of  Rhynchaspis  clypeata 
and  Dafila  acuta  omitted;  several  other  paragraphs  on  Anseres  have  been  re- 
arranged. 

The  present  copy  forms  one  of  a  collection  of  Bonaparte's  papers  bound  in  one 
volume,  from  the  library  of  Henry  Baker  Tristram.

2  pts.  medium  4to.   Pt.  I,  pp.  1-14.   Pt.  II,  pp.  1-27.   Paris. 
Ostensibly  a  reprint  of  a  paper  which  appeared  in  parts  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus" 

for  1856,  Vol.  XLIII,  pp.  410-421  (for  Aug.  25),  571-579  (for  Sept.  15),  593- 
601  (for  Sept.  22)  and  643-652  (for  Sept.  29).  However,  the  author  followed 
his  usual  custom  and  there  are  many  deviations  from  the  original. 

The  reprint  is  separately  paged  in  two  sections  of  which  Pt.  I  contains  pp.  410- 
421  of  the  original  and  Pt.  II  the  remainder.  The  text  is  differently  arranged 
in  Pt.  II  in  the  following  sequence  of  original  pagination:  pp.  571-578,  593- 
595i  643-646,  579,  596-601,  648-652  and  647.  (The  present  copy  is  rearranged 
to  bring  all  the  systematic  tables  together).  Various  changes  occur  in  the 
systematic  tables,  among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  following.  Four  species 
of  the  genus  Gambetta,  grouped  under  No.  242,  are  here  left  without  a  number; 
RhynchophUus  glareoloides  is  put  into  synonymy;  Numenius  major  is  likewise 
submerged;  N.  femoralis  is  given  a  number,  No.  278,  and  many  of  the  species 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  75 

of  the  same  genus  are  rearranged;  AT.  taitensis  is  emended  to  N.  tahitiensis; 
N.  minor  is  submerged;  Aramus  and  its  species,  A.  scolopaceus,  are  included  for 
the  first  time;  Rallus  setosus  is  elevated  from  synonymy;  Porzana  notala  is 
placed  in  the  genus  Ortygometra;  O.  chilensis  and  O.  notata  are  omitted;  Por- 
phyrio  samoensis  is  elevated;  BrachyptiraUus  and  its  species,  B.  ralloides,  are 
recognized;  Manca  capensis  is  dropped;  species  anatorius  (synonym  of  Mer- 
gellus  albellus)  is  emended  to  anatarius;  the  figures  in  the  geographical  table 
of  the  Grallae  are  altered. 

The  general  text  also  contains  some  changes.  The  typography  of  certain  names 
is  altered;  the  footnote  on  p.  577  is  rearranged;  Podoa  josephina  Bp.  occurs 
(p.  9  of  Pt.  2  of  reprint)  as  a  nomen  nudum  (described  later  in  the  author's 
"Conspectus  Avium,"  2,  p.  182,  post  Nov.  i,  1855);  Leucus  islandicus,  not 
mentioned  in  original  text,  is  declared  to  be  invalid;  the  reference  to  Podiceps 
longirostris  is  omitted.  There  are  probably  other  changes  not  noticed  in  a 
hasty  glance  through  the  paper. 

The  date  "2  aout"  in  the  title  of  Pt.  I  is  an  error  for  "25  aout,"  the  figure  on  the 
original  number  of  the  periodical.  The  original  mailing  wrapper  of  Pt.  II  is 
bound  with  the  copy  and  bears  a  date  stamp,  "Paris,  16  Oct.  56,"  being  ad- 
dressed to  Bernard  Dubus  of  the  Brussells  Museum. 

Numerous  new  species  are  described  in  the  original  paper  from  which  they  must 
be  dated.

A  collection  of  papers  by  Bonaparte,  revised,  rearranged,  retitled  and  repaged 

from  the  originals  which  appeared  in  different  volumes  of  the  "Comptes 

Rendus,"  as  follows.     The  first  three  are  not  ornithological. 
"Remarques,"  etc.,  "sur  une  nouvelle  espece  d'Equide,"  p.  9,  appeared  in  the 

magazine  for  Dec.  31,  1855,  Vol.  XLI,  pp.  1219-1220. 
"Paroles,"  etc.,  "sur  les  Observatoires  projet£s  pour  1'Algerie,"  pp.  10-1 1,  appeared 

in  the  magazine  for  Dec.  24,  1855,  Vol.  XLI,  pp.  1147-48. 
"Communication,"  etc.,  "en  pr6sentant  une  nouvelle  publication  de  M.  Gray" 

(on  Chelonia),  pp.  11-12,  appeared  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  March  17, 

1856,  Vol.  XLII,  pp.  513-514- 
"Extrait  d'une    Lettre  -  a  M.  Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire,"   p.    12,  is  the  "Sur  les

P-  509- 
"Especes  nouvelles  d'Oiseaux  d'Asie  et  d'Amerique,  et  tableaux  paralleliques  des

Rendus"  for  April  28,  1856,  Vol.  XLII,  pp.  764-776. 
"Observations  sur  la  zoologie  gebgraphique  de  1'Afrique,  et  Description  d'un 

nouveau  genre  et  de  nouvelles  especes  d'Oiseaux,"  pp.   16-19,  is  from  the 

"Comptes  Rendus"  for  May  5,  1856,  Vol.  XLII,  pp.  819-822. 
"Conspectus  Gaviarum  systematicus,"  pp.  20-21,  is  joined  to  the  "Tableaux 

paralleliques  des  Pelagiens  ou  Gaviae"  but  appeared  the  previous  year  in  the 

"Comptes  Rendus"  for  Dec.  24,  1855,  Vol.  XLI,  pp.  1114-1115  as  part  of  a 

"Note  sur  les  oiseaux  des  lies  Marquises"  (q.v.). 


76     FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

The  present  copy,  bound  with  a  miscellaneous  collection  of  Bonaparte's  papers 
is  preceded  by  its  original  mailing  jacket  addressed  to  "M.  le  Vicomte  Bernard 
Dubus,  Directeur  du  Muse"e  de  Bruxelles,  Belgique"  and  is  postmarked, 
"Paris  23  Mai  56."  The  dating  stamp  has  left  a  more  or  less  legible  impression 
in  duplicate  on  the  blank  leaf  at  the  close  of  the  paper  and  on  one  or  two 
leaves  preceding  it.  The  date  of  publication  of  this  paper  is  thus  fixed  with 
reasonable  accuracy. 

The  incomplete  pagination  of  this  assortment  of  reprints  makes  it  appear  very 
probable  that  it  is  in  continuation  of  the  reprints  of  the  "Note  sur  les  oiseaux 
des  lies  Marquises,"  etc.,  paged  1-8  and  issued  slightly  in  advance  of  the 
present  lot.  That  it  is  intended  as  a  continuation  of  something  is  further 
evidenced  by  the  signature  which  is  numbered  "2".  This  brings  to  mind  the 
fact  that  Bonaparte's  revised  reprints  of  papers  from  the  "Comptes  Rendus" 
are  often  recognizable  by  their  signatures  which  distinguish  them  from  mere 
extracts  from  that  journal  when  the  original  pagination  is  not  known  for 
comparison.  The  original  separates  bear  the  letters  "C.R."  with  volume 
numbers,  etc.;  the  revised  reprints  are  lettered  "B."

i  vol.  medium  4to,  pp.  1-20.   Paris. 

Based  on  two  papers  and  a  note  published  by  Bonaparte  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus" 
for  1856,  Vol.  XLII,  pp.  874-884  (for  May  12)  and  952-957  (for  May  19)  but 
separately  paged  and  with  certain  matter  not  in  the  original  articles.  The 
second  part  of  the  paper  as  here  published  (pp.  14-20)  bears  a  subtitle,  "Note 
sur  les  tableaux  des  Gallinaces".  In  addition  to  the  matter  indicated  in  that 
title,  which  includes  descriptions  of  new  species,  there  are  discussions  and 
descriptions  of  numerous  non-gallinaceous  birds  from  the  Mexican  collections 
of  Auguste  Sall£.  Among  the  many  changes  from  the  original  may  be  cited 
the  following.  In  the  "Tableaux"  proper :  fronticornis  added  to  the  synonymy 
of  Oreophasis  derbyanus;  albiventer  Wagler  is  removed  from  Ortalida  and  placed 
in  Penelopsis;  P.  albiventer  Less,  is  placed  in  the  synonymy  of  leucogaster 
which,  in  turn,  is  elevated;  Rhynchotis  perdix  is  placed  as  a  synonym  of  R 
perdicarius,  the  relationship  being  reversed;  Nothocercus  bourcieri  is  dropped; 
N.  scolopax  is  added  (here  a  nomen  nudum);  N.  strigulolus  Temm.  is  added, 
as  are  Nothura  punctulata  Goy  and  Hepburnia  concentrica  ] .  Gr. ;  the  subgenus 
Scleroptera,  gen.  Chaetops,  is  rearranged  with  several  species  transferred  from 
subgen.  Clamator;  some  of  the  figures  in  the  "Conspectus  Gallinarum  Geo- 
graphicus"  are  altered;  the  short  original  diagnosis  of  Tinamus  iveddelli  is 
omitted. 

In  the  "Note  sur  les  Tableaux"  other  changes  occur.  The  note  regarding  Frau- 
colinus  concentricus  is  omitted  as  is  the  mention  of  the  Scleropterae  and  of  5*. 
thoracica,  charltoni  and  scutata.  Tinamus  weddelli  is  described  in  detail  and 
an  exact  locality  given,  in  place  of  the  brief  diagnosis  omitted  from  the 
"Tableaux";  Crypturus  adspersus  and  vermiculatus,  Trogon  capistratus,  Notho- 
cercus bourcieri  and  Julius,  Crypturus  sovi  and  Rhynchotes  perdicarius  are 
mentioned  or  discussed;  a  male  of  Trogon  xalappensis  Dubus  is  described  in 
detail;  and  Nothocercus  scolopax  is  described  as  new. 

The  present  copy  is  bound  with  other  reprints  of  Bonaparte's  papers  sent  to 
Dubus.

A  repaged  reprint,  with  additions,  of  two  articles  published  by  the  author  in  the 
"Comptes  Rendus"  for  March  16  and  23,  1857,  Vol.  XLIX,  pp.  534-539  and

eighteen  are  listed;  in  the  reprint,  eighteen  are  mentioned  in  both  places.  In 
the  reprint  of  the  descriptive  text  the  names  of  the  Psittaculidae  and  Plyc- 
tolophidae  are  emended  to  Araidae  and  Cacatuidae,  agreeing  with  the  original 
edition  of  the  synoptic  tables;  the  "Nestoriens"  and  "Nasiterniens"  are  men- 
tioned in  the  descriptive  text,  having  been  in  the  original  tables  under  Latin 
names.  The  following  genera  are  mentioned  for  the  first  time  in  the  text 
although,  with  the  exception  of  Ararauna,  they  are  in  the  original  tables  as 
nomina  nuda:  Ararauna;  Ara  (with  type  Ps.  macao  Linn.) ;  Sittace  with  3  species) 
Arara  (with  type  spixf);  Primolius  (new  genus  with  three  species);  Psittacara 
with  two  species);  Ognorhynchus  (new  genus  with  type  icterotis  Massena); 
Evopsitta  and  E.  brasiliensis;  Bolborhynchus  (new  genus  for  Myopsitta  tigrina  and 
catharina  of  the  original  text);  Conurus  astec  (emendation  of  Conurus  asteco); 
Ptiloscltra  (new  genus  with  type  versicolor  Vig.).  In  the  synoptic  table  as  re- 
printed, the  genus  Ararauna  is  mentioned  and  Dasyptilus  is  transferred  from 
the  Eclectinae  to  the  Nestorinae. 

The  present  reprint  is  bound  with  some  other  copies  of  Bonaparte's  paper  pre- 
sented to  Dubus  by  the  author.

A  supplement  to  "Les  Pigeons"  by  Temminck  and  PreVost  (Cf.  Knip  1809-11), 
intended  to  figure  and  describe  those  species  of  pigeons  not  treated  in  the  earlier 
work.  The  original  plan  embraced  30  livraisons  of  150  plates  but  the  author 
died  immediately  after  the  publication  of  livr.  4,  leaving  incomplete  manuscript 
and  plates  for  part  of  the  remainder.  The  publishers  obtained  the  services  of 
Moquin-Tandon  to  edit  the  manuscript  and  8  more  livraisons  were  published 
with  35  plates  (20  had  appeared  in  livrs.  1-4),  reserving  7  plates  for  which 
there  were  no  descriptions  and  4  descriptions  without  plates.  Livr.  12  con- 
tained, with  editorial  notice  and  list  of  contents,  7  descriptions  whose  plates 
had  appeared  previously.  The  list  of  contents  gives  the  livraison-number 
for  each  plate  and  description;  they  were  not  always  synchronous.  Plate 
20  is  numbered  25  in  error  and  plate  25  is  numbered  20  in  the  text  as  well 
as  on  the  plate.  Plates  27,  29  and  124  (wrongly  numbered  121  in  text  but 
corrected  in  the  list  of  contents)  were  not  issued,  although  their  descriptions 
are  given.  Exact  dates  are  not  available.  Livrs.  1-4  appeared  in  1857,  before 
Bonaparte's  death  in  July;  the  publishers  note  that  they  have  published  the 
remainder  of  the  work  in  the  space  of  ten  months,  and  date  the  notice,  which 
appeared  in  the  last  part,  July  i,  1858;  thus  livr.  5  seems  to  have  appeared  in 
Sept.  1857,  and  12  in  July  1858.  Intervening  dates  and  the  date  of  the  first 
part  are  unobtainable.  The  work  appears  to  be  rather  rare  and  some  copies 
are  incomplete;  the  present  one  is  complete,  so  far  as  published.  The  hand- 
colored  plates  are  very  fine.

Part  of  a  second  edition  of  the  "Encyclopedic  M^thodique"  (of  which  the  birds 
were  discussed  by  Mauduyt)  but  in  reality  entirely  distinct  from  the  original 
edition.  The  present  portion  was  begun  by  Bonnaterre  who  published  the 
plates,  preface,  introduction  and  the  text  up  to  p.  320,  before  his  death,  after 
which  the  ornithology  was  completed  by  Vieillot.  The  entire  work,  in  both 
editions,  is  collated  by  Sherborn  in  the  Annals  and  Magazine  of  Natural  History, 
Ser.  7,  Vol.  17,  pp.  577-582,  1906,  from  which  I  extract  the  following  information 
relative  to  the  ornithology.  The  work  appeared  in  parts.  Livr.  37  included 
"Ornithologie,"  pll.  1-77,  1790;  livr.  38,  pll.  78-  177,  1790;  livr.  40,  pp.  I-LXXX, 
pll.  178-239  (240?),  1-7,  1790;  livr.  47,  pp.  LXXXI-XCVII,  1-192,  1791;  livr. 
51,  pp.  193-320,  (1792);  livr.  89,  (pp.  321-528),  1820;  livr.  91,  pp.  529-848, 
1822 ;  livr.  93,  (pp.  849-1460),  1823.  The  plates  of  the  second  series,  1-7,  are  ana- 
tomical and  bear  reference  to  Vol.  I,  Pt.  I  of  the  original  "Encyclopedic." 
The  text  contains  a  systematic  review  of  the  birds  of  the  world,  with  detailed 
descriptions  and  many  new  names.  It  is  strictly  binomial.

A  hand-list  of  1 1,031  species  of  birds  arranged  under  2456  genera,  with  the  general 
distribution  of  each  species  briefly  noted.  The  arrangement  of  genera,  fam- 
ilies and  orders  follows  the  author's  own  peculiar  conception  and  has  not  been 
accepted  generally.  The  inclusion  of  the  Hirundinidae  among  the  Macro- 
chires  is  one  of  the  striking  irregularities.  The  preface  is  dated  March  i,  1876.

of  the  present  edition.

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  the  humming  birds,  including  various  new  genera  and 
species.  The  work  was  issued  in  parts  as  a  supplement  to  the  author's  periodical, 
"The  Humming  Bird,"  Vols.  II- V,  forming  nearly  the  whole  of  the  last  volume 
of  that  work.  The  following  dates  of  publication  (supplied  by  Dr.  C.  E.  Hell- 
mayr)  are  from  a  copy  in  the  State  Museum  at  Munich.  Pp.  1-56  (54),  1892; 
55-106*,  1893;  107-202,  1894;  203-266,  March  1895;  267-282,  June  1895; 
283-330,  June  1895;  331-394,  end  of  August  1895;  395-402,  October  1895  or 
later  but  before  Christmas.  The  book  contains  some  curious  passages.

A  supplement  to  Levaillant's  "Histoire  Naturelle  des  Perroquets"  (q.v.),  forming 
a  third  volume  of  that  work  as  sometimes  catalogued.  There  seems  to  be  little 
doubt  that  this  work  is  identical  with  the  "Collection  de  Perroquets,"  etc., 
published  by  Bourjot  Saint-Hilaire  in  29  livraisons,  from  1835-39.  The  imprint, 
secondary  portions  of  title  and  number  of  plates  correspond  with  that  work  as 
catalogued  by  Engelmann  and  Agassiz,  both  of  whom  catalog,  also,  the  present 
title  without  cross-references,  specifying  but  105  plates  for  the  latter  in  dis- 
agreement with  the  copy  at  hand.  The  "Mag.  of  Zool.  and  Bot.,"  i,  1837, 
p.  282  (March?  1837)  announces  the  "Collections"  as  about  to  be  commenced 
in  monthly  livraisons  of  4  pll.  each,  but  Mathews  (Austr.  Av.  Rec.  IV,  p.  13) 
quotes  the  "Athenaeum"  of  Jan.  23,  1836,  p.  73,  to  the  effect  that  part  i  was 
issued  by  that  date.  Mathews  also  quotes  Wiegmann's  "Archiv"  in  citing 
the  dates  of  livrs.  I-IV  and  XII-XXIV  as  1835.  The  preface  of  the  work  at 
hand  is  dated  February  28,  1838,  the  introduction,  December  i,  1838.  The 
order  of  plates  in  the  work  is,  evidently,  not  that  of  their  issue.  The  index  of 
species  calls  for  115  pll.,  the  number  collated  by  the  Cat.  Libr.  Brit.  Mus. 
(Nat.  Hist.),  but  only  in  seem  to  have  been  issued.  They  are  lithographed 
and  hand-colored.  A  fourth  volume  of  the  series  was  added  in  1857-58  by 
Charles  de  Souance"  under  the  title  of  "Iconographie  des  Perroquets,"  etc.  (q.v.).

A  descriptive,  systematic  account  of  the  avifauna  of  the  Province  of  Dauphins' 
(as  delimited  in  1843).  According  to  a  note  in  the  introduction  of  Vol.  I, 
Bouteille  is  the  author  of  the  text  relating  to  the  "Rapaces"  (Vol.  I,  pp.  53-106) 
and  of  the  "fichassiers,"  "Pinnatipedes,"  and  "Palmipedes"  (Vol.  II,  pp. 
77-322)  while  the  author  of  the  introduction  (not  named  but  probably  Labatie) 
is  responsible  for  the  remainder  of  the  work. 

Vol.  II  is  dated  on  the  title-page,  1 843,  but  on  p.  327  there  is  given  a  reference  to 
an  occurrence  in  the  spring  of  1844,  thus  advancing  the  possible  date  of  pub- 
lication to  that  period  or  beyond  it.

Most  of  the  book  is  devoted  to  a  historical,  descriptive  and  statistical  account  of 
the  country.  Pt.  IV,  by  Rupert  Vallentin,  contains  notes  on  the  natural  history 
of  the  region  with  pp.  285-335  devoted  to  birds.  On  p.  308,  Hacmatopus  quoyi 
is  ostensibly  proposed  as  a  new  name  for  H.  ater  Sharpe  [misquoted  "(Sharp)"], 
but  the  name  was  proposed  in  1912  by  Brabourne  and  Chubb  from  whom  the 
compiler  has  evidently  quoted  the  citation  in  its  entirety.  Three  of  the  plates 
are  of  ornithological  subjects.

As  projected,  this  work  was  to  have  comprised  16  volumes  with  400  plates,  but 
the  death  of  the  senior  author  terminated  the  publication  after  the  issue  of  the 
present  volume,  containing  only  the  list  of  species.  A  series  of  38  of  the  plates 
intended  for  this  work  was  issued  subsequently,  under  separate  authorship  and

the  corresponding  portion  of  the  journal.  The  special  title,  marked  "Fasciculus

Ostensibly  a  treatise  on  cage-birds,  but  in  reality  including  most  of  the  known 
species  of  the  groups  treated.  The  various  species,  1960  in  number,  are  briefly 
described  or  characterized  and  their  distribution  given,  with  a  general  account 
of  each  group  and  sometimes  of  the  individual  forms.  Pages  1-132  of  Vol.  I 
comprise  a  treatise  on  the  handling  of  caged  birds.  The  work  appeared  in  24 
livraisons,  i-i  i  constituting  Vol.  I  and  1-13,  Vol.  II.  The  extent  of  each  livraison 
is  uncertain  but  the  numbers  are  noted  in  the  Journal  fur  Ornithologie  as  fol- 
lows, the  dates  being  the  months  for  which  the  Journal  was  intended,  not  the 
dates  of  actual  issue.  VoL  I,  Livr.  I,  Sept.  1870;  2-3,  Jan.  1871 ;  4,  March  1871 ;

publish  further  volumes,  since  these  two  are  marked,  "Erster  Teil,"  but  no

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  European  birds  in  which  many  new  names  appear. 
Notes  on  the  methods  of  capturing  the  various  types  or  forms  of  birds  are 
given  in  greater  or  lesser  detail  throughout  the  text.  The  work  is  more  impor- 
tant to  the  systematist  than  its  short-title  would  indicate.

One  of  the  early  systematic  treatises  on  birds  by  a  contemporary  of  Linn6.  De- 
tailed descriptions  are  given  of  genera  and  species  of  a  large  number  of  birds. 
While  the  author  is  not  consistently  binomial  and  frequently  uses  a  descriptive 
phrase  in  place  of  a  specific  name,  many  of  his  generic  names  are  proposed  in 
strict  accordance  with  the  modern  canons  of  nomenclature  and  are  tenable 
as  has  been  set  forth  in  Opinion  37  of  the  International  Commission  of  Zoologi- 
cal Nomenclature.  These  generic  names,  according  to  the  text  of  the  Opinion 
37,  are  in  genitive  or  adjectival  form  when  used  as  captions  to  generic  diagnoses 
but  are  in  the  nominative  form  in  the  introductory  tables  of  classification,  in 
the  tables  of  contents  and  always  as  the  introductory  word  of  the  Latin  diag- 
noses of  species. 

The  titles  of  this  work  are  in  both  Latin  and  French  and  the  general  text  is  also 
in  both  languages,  in  parallel  columns  except  for  the  brief  diagnoses  and  the 
synonymy  which  are  given  only  in  Latin.  The  long  descriptions  are  very 
minute.  The  appendix  is  separately  paged  and  titled  but,  at  least  in  the  present 
copy,  is  bound  with  Vol.  VI.  Vols.  I-VI  are  dated  1760  and  seem  to  have  come 
out  together.  The  appendix  is  not  dated  but  is  considered  as  of  equal  date  with 
the  remainder  of  the  work;  if  so  it  must  have  appeared  in  the  latter  part  of  the

Unquestionably  the  most  important  work  on  systematic  ornithology  that  has 
ever  been  published.  According  to  the  preface  of  Vol.  XXVI  (the  last  pub- 
lished, although  not  the  last  numerically),  "the  Catalogue  is  based,  not  only 
upon  the  immense  collection  of  birds  in  the  Museum,  but  also  upon  all  other 
available  material  contained  in  public  or  private  collections,  or  described  in 
zoological  literature.  It  therefore  professes  to  be  a  complete  list  of  every  bird 
known  at  the  time  of  the  publication  of  the  volume  treating  of  the  group  to 
which  it  belongs."  The  general  plan  of  treatment  involves  the  full  description 
of  each  species  with  a  copious  synonym}',  citation  of  distribution  and  catalogue 
of  specimens  of  each  in  the  British  Museum,  giving  for  each  specimen  the 
locality  and  source  of  receipt.  Genera  and  higher  groups  are  defined  and  tables 
given  for  determination  of  these  and  of  the  species.  It  was  originally  intended 
that  Sharpe  would  prepare  the  entire  work,  but  other  specialists  in  various 
groups  were  called  to  write  certain  volumes  after  the  magnitude  of  the  project 
became  apparent.  As  a  result,  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  the  different 
sections  of  the  work  are  not  uniform.

Prepared  somewhat  after  the  plan  of  the  British  Museum's  "Catalogue  of  the 
Birds,"  1874-98  (q.v.),  but  following,,  with  slight  variations,  the  nomenclature 
of  Sharpe's  "Hand-list  of  the  Genera  and  Species  of  Birds,"  1899-1909  (q.v.), 
with  which  it  corresponds  in  content  of  species,  volume  for  volume.  Under 
each  species  (subspecies  are  treated  binomially)  are  given  a  list  of  bibliographic 
references,  a  description  of  the  eggs,  and  a  list  of  the  specimens  of  the  same  in 
the  British  Museum  with  their  sources. 

The  work  was  originally  entrusted  to  Dates  who  prepared  the  manuscript  for 
most  of  it.  Owing  to  ill  health  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  the  work  after  the 
second  volume  was  completed,  and  Vols.  Ill  and  IV  were  revised  and  issued 
by  Reid.  Various  interruptions  delayed  the  appearance  of  the  final  volume  and

in  the  meantime  many  additions  were  made  to  the  collection,  in  consequence 
of  which  it  was  found  necessary  to  rewrite  most  of  the  original  manuscript. 
This  was  done  by  Ogilvie-Grant  who  appears  as  author  of  Vol.  V. 

The  preface  to  Vol.  I  is  dated  Febr.  25,  1901  but  the  Museum's  list  of  current 
publications  (given  in  the  advertising  pages  at  the  back)  is  dated  March  5 ;  the

A  series  of  hand-colored  engravings,  some  original,  others  copied  from  the  platei 
of  Alexander  Wilson's  "American  Ornithology,"  1808-14  (q-v.),  Bonaparte'j 
"American  Ornithology,"  1825-33  (q.v.),  and  possibly  other  works.  The 
copies  are  often  much  altered  in  engraving,  with  entirely  different  backgrounds 
and  coloring  from  those  of  the  originals.  The  work  is  extremely  rare  and  th< 
latest  references  to  it  that  I  can  find  are  in  two  articles  by  Walter  Faxon  ir

Jardine's  Naturalist's  Library,  Vol.  XIX  (Ornithology  Vol.  V),  1835.  The 
plates  are  not  numbered  and  in  Faxon's  copy  appear  to  be  arranged  in  slightly 
different  order  than  in  the  copy  at  hand.  According  to  Faxon  they  represent 
pll.  69-83  and  102  of  Brown's  "Illustrations  of  the  American  Ornithology  ol 
Alexander  Wilson  and  Charles  Lucian  Bonaparte,"  etc.,  published  in  1831-3" 
as  a  companion  to  Jameson's  edition  of  Wilson,  1831  (q.v.).  In  Faxon's  cop5 
the  backgrounds  are  said  to  be  uncolored,  but  in  the  copy  at  hand  they  art 
fully  colored;  likewise  his  plates  are  watermarked  1835  while  those  at  hand  art 
watermarked  from  1830  to  1834.  The  fly-leaf  of  the  present  copy  bears  ar

One  of  the  early  and  important  landmarks  in  the  history  of  ornithology.  It  is 
based  on  the  nine  volumes  of  "Oiseaux"  in  Buffon's  "Histoire  Naturelle  Ge'n- 
eYale."  first  edition,  with  some  changes  in  the  text.  Many  species  of  birds 
are  described  under  vernacular  names,  and  general  discussions  are  given  of 
habits,  relationships,  etc.  Some  of  the  species  were  later  given  Latin  names  by 
Hermann  in  his  ''Tabula  Aftinitatum  Animalium"  (q.v.)  of  1783  (reviewed  in 
part  by  Stresemann  in  the  Novit.  Zool.  27,  pp.  327-332,  June  1920),  although 
the  references  are  not  to  the  present  edition  but  to  the  original  work.  Bod- 
daert,  the  same  year  as  Hermann,  or  later,  named  many  of  Buffon's  species 
(apparently  from  Daubenton's  illustrations,  as  mentioned  below),  but  where 
his  names  clash  with  those  of  Hermann,  the  latter  have  priority  (Cf.  Richmond, 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY  —  ZIMMER.  105 


Auk,  17,  p.  179,  1900.).  Gmelin,  in  the  isth  edition  of  the  "Systema  Naturae" 
of  Linnaeus,  1788,  also  named  many  of  Buffon's  birds,  but  his  references  are  to 
the  original  nine  volumes  of  the  "Oiseaux"  of  the  "Hist.  Nat.  G4n6rale,"  which 
he  quotes  under  their  sectional  title  of  "Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux"  to  the 
resultant  confusion  with  the  present  edition.  The  early  history  of  the  first 
editions  of  Buffon  is  somewhat  as  follows. 

Buffon,  in  1749,  began  the  publication  of  his  "Histoire  Naturelle  G6nerale," 
completed  in  1804  (after  his  death),  in  44  quarto  volumes.  Of  these,  the  nine 
volumes  of  birds  (Vols.  23-31)  appeared  from  1770  to  1783.*  A  separate 
edition  of  the  same  work  in  71  volumes,  lamo,  was  begun  in  1752  and  com- 
pleted in  1805,  of  which  the  ornithology  occupied  18  volumes  (Vols.  47-64).  * 
In  1765,  Daubenton  the  younger  (whose  father  was  collaborator  with  Buffon 
in  the  "Hist.  Nat.  Generate"),  instigated  by  Buffon,  commenced  the  publica- 
tion of  a  series  of  1008  colored  plates,  973  of  which  are  of  birds,  drawn  by  Mar- 
tinet. These  were  issued  without  text  other  than  the  vernacular  names  (often 
from  Brisson)  on  their  legends.  They  appeared  in  promiscuous  order  in  42 
cahiers,  from  1765  to  1780  or  a  little  later  3  in  both  large  and  small  folio,  and 
appear  to  lack  any  definite  title  or  title-page,  although  the  collection  seems 
always  to  have  been  known  as  "Daubenton's  Planches  Enlumine'es." 

Daubenton's  work  seems  to  have  been  intended  originally  to  illustrate  the  vol- 
umes of  "Oiseaux"  of  Buffon's  "Hist.  Nat.  G6nerale,"  even  though  the  latter 
did  not  commence  until  the  plates  were  in  course  of  publication.  Buffon 
(Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux,  I,  pp.  VJ-IX  and  VII,  p.  IJ)  and  Boddaert  (Table, 
p.  VIII)  both  credit  the  enterprise  with  that  definite  purpose.  However,  in 
view  of  the  limited  edition  of  the  colored  plates,  —  insufficient  to  provide  a  set 
for  each  copy  of  the  "Hist.  Nat.  Generate,"  —  a  new  set  of  262  back-and-white 
plates  was  prepared  for  the  ornithological  volumes  of  that  work  (Cf.  Buffon, 
Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux,  I,  p.  IX.).  At  the  same  time  Buffon  produced,  in  ten 
volumes,  a  special  edition  of  the  ornithology  (in  both  large  and  small  folio) 
under  the  title  transcribed  above,  designed  expressly  to  accompany  Dauben- 
ton's plates.  Each  volume  contains  a  list  of  these  plates  with  the  order  of 
arrangement  and  references  to  the  pages  where  they  are  to  be  inserted  in  the 
volume,  and  the  text  refers  to  them  simply  as  "les  planches  enlumin^es  No.  —  ." 
No  reference  is  made  in  the  text  to  35  non-ornithological  plates  which  accom- 
pany the  present  set  (and  other  recorded  sets)  of  the  work,  except  as  they  are 
included  in  the  total  number  of  plates  mentioned  in  Vol.  VII,  p.  IJ. 

Boddaert,  on  p.  28  of  his  "Table,"  identifies  pi.  476  of  Daubenton  as  the 
"Ecorcheur  des  Philippines"  and  the  "Piegriesche  de  la  Louisanie"  (sic),  figs. 
i  and  2,  and  nowhere  mentions  a  "Tinamou  de  Cayenne."  In  Buffon's  illus- 
trations, pi.  476  represents  the  "Tinamou  de  Cayenne,"  while  the  two  shrikes 
are  not  figured  on  any  plate.  In  Vol.  I  of  the  text,  pp.  237  and  242,  Buffon 
discusses  the  two  shrikes  and  refers  to  figs,  i  and  2  of  pi.  476,  but  on  a  leaf  of 
errata  at  the  close  of  the  volume  he  deletes  these  plate-references.  PI.  476 
with  the  figure  of  the  Tinamou,  is  placed  in  Vol.  II  opposite  p.  414  where  there 
is  a  slight  accompanying  reference  to  the  species,  while  on  p.  223  of  Vol.  V 


'This  is  the  edition  quoted  by  Gmelin  and  by  Hermann. 

•This  edition  is  quoted  by  Boddaert  in  his  "Table  des  Planches  Enluminees  de  M.  D'Aubenton" 
(Cf.  Boddaert,  "Repnnt  of  Boddaert's  Table."  1874.).  where  it  is  cited  simply  as  "Buffon." 

'Boddaert  gives  1781  as  the  d_ate  of  completion  and  Newton  (Diet.  Birds,  Introd.  p.  10),  assign* 
one  year  earlier.  Buffon,  in  the  Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux,  (collated  herewith),  VII,  p.  IJ,  1783, 
says  that  the  42nd  and  last  cahier  of  Daubenton's  plates  has  just  been  published. 


io6  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

there  is  a  full  discussion  with  a  proper  reference  to  the  plate  by  number.  Son- 
nini,  in  his  edition  of  Buffon,  1800-05  (q-v.),  Vol.  39,  p.  358,  footn.,  calls  atten- 
tion to  the  error  but  not  to  the  correction.  The  question  arises  as  to  whether 
or  not  a  plate  of  the  shrikes  was  ever  issued  by  Daubenton  and  cancelled  by 
Buffon.  Dr.  Hellmayr  advises  me  that  in  a  copy  of  Daubenton's  plates  exam- 
ined, by  him  (preserved  as  an  atlas  of  plates  without  accompanying  text), 
pi.  476  represented  the  Tinamou.  It  seems  most  probable  that  Boddaert  never 
saw  the  plate  of  the  shrikes  to  which  he  refers,  nor  the  errata  by  which  Buffon 
cancelled  all  references  to  such  a  plate,  but  that  he  prepared  his  remarks  from 
Buffon's  descriptions  (including  the  plate-number) ;  his  discussion  adds  nothing 
to  Buffon's  account.  In  such  case,  "Daubenton's  Planches  Enlumin6es"  and 
the  illustrations  of  the  present  work  are  strictly  identical. 

•A  virtual  supplement  to  Buffon's  "Oiseaux"  is  found  in  the  "Nouveau  Recueil 
de  Planches  Coloriees"  of  Temminck  and  Laugier,  1820-39  (<3-v.),  and  another 
supplement  to  both  of  these  in  the  "Iconographie  Ornithologique"  of  Des  Murs, 
1845-49  (q.v.),  both  series  being  issued  in  uniform  style  and  size  to  agree  with 
their  predecessor.  Temminck  and  Laugier's  work  contains  a  composite  list 
of  Buffon's  (Daubenton's?)  plates  and  their  own,  arranged  in  systematic  order. 
A  considerable  part  of  the  early  volumes  of  the  "Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux" 
was  written  by  Montbeillard  whose  contributions  are  published  over  his  own 
name  in  Vols.  Ill- VII.  In  Vol.  VII,  Buffon  announces  the  retirement  of  Mont- 
beillard from  the  ornithological  field  and  acknowledges  the  services  of  Bexon 
in  his  place  thenceforth,  although  nothing  seems  to  be  published  over  the  latter's 
name.  The  contributions  of  Montbeillard  are  as  follows.  Vol.  Ill,  entire 
volume;  IV,  pp.  1-204  and  250-405;  V.  pp.  53-131,  163-183  and  294-363;  VI, 
pp.  1-30,  197-207,  228-372,  389-477  and  491-582;  VII,  pp.  230-350.

The  ornithological  volumes  of  the  "Sonnini  Edition"  of  Buff  on,  containing  Buf- 
fon's  original  text  augmented  by  numerous  footnotes  signed  by  Sonnini  and  by 
Virey.  Many  binomial  names  are  cited  in  these  footnotes,  being  quoted  from 
previous  authors,  especially  from  Daudin  whose  "Traite1  elementaire  et  complet 
d'Ornithologie,"  1799-1800,  had  just  appeared.  Several  reissues  of  the  present 
edition  seem  to  have  appeared  and,  judging  by  the  mixed  dates  on  the  title- 
pages  of  the  present  set,  several  of  them  are  represented  here  although  no  vol- 
ume bears  a  date  later  than  that  of  the  completion  of  the  entire  work  (except- 
ing the  index.)  In  Vol.  I,  pp.  19  and  20  are  on  an  inserted  leaf  which  appears 
to  be  a  replacement  for  a  cancelled  leaf;  p.  19  has  the  signature  "B  2  *".  Three 
styles  of  title-page  (with  variations)  are  given,  one  with  the  title  and  numeration 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  109 

of  the  entire  series,  one  with  title  and  numeration  for  the  ornithological  series, 
and  one  with  the  general  title  and  the  special  numeration.  In  addition,  Vol. 
43  has  the  title-page  of  the  general  series  and  the  preliminary  half-title  page  of 
the  ornithological  series. 

According  to  the  title-page  of  the  "Tables  Analytiques"  or  index  to  this 
edition  of  Buffon  (by  Sue,  1808,  q.v.),  the  entire  set  (excluding  the  three  volumes 
of  index)  is  composed  of  124  volumes;  Engelmann  cites  129  (including  the  "Tab- 
les") but  his  detailed  list  totals  only  124,  64  of  which  compose  the  annotated 
reissue  of  Buffon's  original  text,  61  the  new  "Suites  £  Buffon"  by  various  au- 
thors, and  3  the  "Tables  Analytiques."  The  first  64  vols.  are  numbered  in 
sequence  (as  well  as  separately  by  subjects);  the  "Suites"  are  numbered  only 
by  subjects. 

Of  the  entire  edition,  the  present  set  includes  the  following.  Outrage  de  Buffon. 
Vols.  22-34,  '  Quadrupedes,1  (266  pll.,  203  col.;  Vol.  25  lacks  i  pi.;  Vol.  33  be-

fon's original  text  is  followed  closely  and  only  vernacular  names  are  used  for 
the  species  discussed.  Vol.  XII  closes  with  a  separately  paged  and  titled 
copy  of  Lacdpede's  "Vue  Generate  des  Progres  de  Plusieurs  Branches  des  Sciences

etc.,  1819).  The  entire  edition,  of  which  the  present  set  is  a  part,  occupies  17 
volumes;  the  last  five  were  written  by  Lacepede  and  included  by  the  publishers 
in  the  set  as  a  sort  of  supplement.  Vol.  XII,  therefore,  closes  Buffon's  portion

The  "Lamouroux  Edition"  of  BuffonCs  work,  not  including  the  supplementary 
volumes  of  "Suite  £  Buffon"  which  are  absent  from  the  set  at  hand.  This 
edition  was  commenced  by  Lamouroux  whose  initials  appear  at  the  close  of 
certain  footnotes  in  the  earlier  volumes.  The  work  was  completed  by  Des- 
marest  who  annotated  the  remainder.  Engelmann  cites  inclusive  dates  of 
1824-32,  although  the  last  volume  bears  the  date  1831.  The  plates,  by  P. 
Oudart,  are  unusually  fine.  A  reprint  of  this  edition  was  published  in  Brussels 
in  1828-33  (q.v.).

One  of  the  numerous  editions  of  Buffon'.  Various  footnotes  throughout  the  work 
are  signed  ' 'A.  R."  ( =  A.  Richard).  The  supplementary  volumes  do  not  appear 
to  contain  any  ornithological  matter.  A  note  in  the  last  volume  of  "Compli- 
ment" announces  that  title-pages  will  be  supplied  for  the  two  volumes  of  plates, 
but  those  volumes  are  without  titles  in  the  present  set.

A  Belgian  edition  of  Buffon's  work.  Very  little  information  is  available  con- 
cerning this  issue,  but  a  comparison  with  the  "Lamouroux  Edition"  of  1824- 
31  (q.v.),  shows  that  the  text  of  the  two  editions  is  the  same,  including  the 
annotations  by  Lamouroux  and  Desmarest,  although  the  entire  work  is  reset; 
typography,  pagination  and  lineation  are  all  different.  The  plates  are  the 
same  except  that  those  of  the  present  work  are  lithographic  copies  of  the 
original  engravings;  the  lettering  on  them  is  somewhat  different  from  that 
of  the  originals.  The  plates  are  bound  separately  with  special  title-pages 
provided  for  them  (the  originals  are  inserted  in  the  text) ;  some  of  the  plates 
appear  to  be  missing  as  may  be  ascertained  by  comparison  with  the  list  of 
plates  at  the  close  of  Vol.  XL  of  the  "Lamouroux  Edition"  of  (for  the  birds) 
by  comparison  with  the  collation  given  under  the  other  work. 

Vols.  I  of  Mammiferes  and  I  of  Oiseaux  possess  an  extra  set  of  half-titles  and 
title-pages.  This  half-title  differs  from  the  regular  one  (possessed  in  common 
with  all  other  volumes  of  the  set)  in  presenting  the  names  of  Buffon  and  Dau- 
benton  above  the  volume  number  which  is  a  special  number  for  the  subject  and 
not  for  the  entire  series.  The  full  title  omits  the  names  of  Buffon  and  Dauben- 
ton,  immediately  preceding  the  subject  and  volume  number;  in  the  case  of 
Vol.  I  of  Mammiferes,  it  also  omits  the  name  of  Lesson  from  the  list  of  "contin- 
uateurs,"  and  bears  the  date  1827  in  place  of  that  of  1828  given  on  the  regular 
title-page.  As  noted  in  the  transcription  of  title,  the  regular  half-title  carries 
a  serial  number  for  the  entire  series,  not  borne  by  the  full  title-page. 

Daubenton's  name  is  associated  with  that  of  Buffon  because  he  was  the  actual 
author  of  many  (if  not  most)  of  the  painstaking  and  detailed  descriptions  in 
Buffon's  original  volumes,  although  he  was  not  given  full  credit  for  his  work 
during  Buffon's  lifetime.  This  is  Daubenton  the  elder,  father  of  the  Daubenton 
who  issued  the  "planches  enlumine'es"  to  accompany  Buffon's  special  edition 
of  his  "Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux"  1770-86  (q.v.).

This  edition  is  much  enlarged  and  revised  from  the  first  one,  published  in  1872- 
73  (q-  v.).  The  plates  are  new  and  in  the  present  copy  are  represented  by  two 
specimens  of  each.  One  of  these  is  the  regular  plate  as  issued  with  the  work, 
and  the  second,  without  legends  of  any  kind,  appears  to  be  a  special  proof- 
sheet  (retouched  by  hand),  more  delicately  executed  than  the  regular  issue, 
and  usually  slightly  different  in  color  and  softer  in  tone.  The  work  was  issued 
in  13  parts,  the  dates  and  content  of  which  I  copy  from  Mathews  (Birds  of

An  annotated  catalogue  of  the  species  contained  in  Silver's  collection,  part  of 
which  won  a  diploma  and  medal  at  the  Colonial  and  Indian  Exhibition,  1886. 
Short  notes  on  habits  are  given  for  many  of  the  species,  along  with  the  distribu- 
tion of  each.  A  reference  list  of  the  exhibition  cases  containing  the  collection 
and  the  contents  of  each,  follows.  One  species  is  described  as  new,  Ocydromus 
assimilis,  but  this  name  was  dropped  later,  without  comment,  when  the  author 
found  0.  earli  Gray  to  be  an  earlier  name  for  the  same  species  and  changed 
O.  earli  auctorum  to  O.  greyi  Buller.  (Cf.  Buller,  A  History  of  the  Birds  of

their  wild  existence.

A  catalogue  of  the  ornithological  collection  of  Ferdinand  Heine,  with  detailed 
synonymy  and  numerous  references  and  notes,  including  descriptions  of  new 
species.  Part  I  is  from  the  pen  of  Cabanis,  alone;  the  remainder  of  the  work 
is  by  Cabanis  and  Heine  (the  younger,  son  of  the  founder  of  the  collection). 
The  various  signatures  of  the  work  are  dated,  but  the  dates  are  those  of  print- 
ing, not  necessarily  of  publication.  The  final  signatures  of  each  part  are  dated 
as  follows.  Pt.  I,  October  23,  1851;  n,  January  20,  1860;  in,  November  i, 
1860;  IV,  Sec.  i,  April  21,  1863;  IV,  Sec.  2,  December  30,  1863.  There  is  evi- 
dence that  certain  portions  of  the  work  were  distributed  in  advance  of  the 
complete  parts.  Sclater,  on  p.  VIII  of  his  "Monograph  of  the  Tanagrine  Genus 
Calliste,"  1857-58  (q.v.),  says,  "I  am  informed  that  the  sheets  of  his  work 
(  —  pp.  1-32  of  Pt.  /)  containing  the  Tanagers — though  not  in  England — were 
in  circulation  in  Germany  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1850,"  and  he  sinks  cer- 
tain of  his  own  names  in  favor  of  those  of  Cabanis.  The  Ibis  for  January  1861 
(p.  108)  reviews,  from  an  "early  copy,"  pp.  1-81  of  Pt.  Ill;  in  the  October  num- 
ber, the  remainder  of  the  work,  as  far  as  a  "portion  of  the  Index,"  is  reviewed, 
also  from  an  "early  copy."  Besides  these  published  accounts  there  is  evidence 
at  hand  in  the  form  of  a  separate  copy  of  Vol.  Ill,  tit.  and  pp.  1-82,  only,  en- 
closed in  a  wrapper  which  is  inscribed,  "M.  Verreaux  a  Paris.  F.  Heine."

This  work  was  issued  in  ten  parts  from  1853  to  1855.  In  1856  the  preface,  con- 
tents and  index  were  added.  The  perface  mentions  proposed  later  volumes  of 
the  same  series,  but  they  were  never  published.  Fifty  species  are  fully  described 
and  figured  and  many  more  treated  more  briefly  in  the  synopsis.  Three  species 
are  described  as  new.

The  zoology  of  Castelnau's  expedition,  in  three  volumes,  forms  Pt.  7  of  the  com- 
plete work  (contained  in  14  vols.  in  13,  published  from  1850-59).  The  third 
portion  of  Vol.  I  of  Pt.  7  (here  collated)  relates  to  the  birds  and  was  written 


126  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

by  Des  Murs  after  the  death  of  Deville  who  was  charged  originally  with  the 
preparation  of  that  section  of  the  work.  The  general  title  (in  the  first  part  of 
the  above  transcription)  is  from  the  original  wrapper  but  does  not  occur  in 
the  complete  issue  of  Vol.  I.  The  title  of  Vol.  I  is  very  similar,  reading,  "Expe- 
dition .  .  .  Geographic.  |  Septieme  partie.  |  Zoologie.  |  Paris  .  .  .  1855."  A 
second  title  in  the  complete  volume  reads,  "Animaux  nouveaux  .  .  .  Ge'ogra- 
phie.  |  Tome  premier.  |  Paris  .  .  .  1855."  The  subtitle  of  the  section  on  Orni- 
thology follows  in  its  place. 

Although  dated  1855  on  both  wrapper  and  title-page,  Des  Murs's  report 
appears  to  have  been  published  a  year  later.  According  to  the  "Comptes 
Rendus"  for  Dec.  17,  1855,  Vol.  41,  p.  1094,  the  Acade"mie  des  Sciences  received 
Livrs.  12-14  °f  the  Zoology  on  that  date;  the  same  publication  for  June  30, 
1856,  Vol.  42,  p.  1275,  notes  that  the  Academic  des  Sciences  received  Livrs. 
15-18  on  that  date;  the  same  publication  for  Dec.  15,  1856,  Vol.  43,  p.  1134, 
records  the  receipt  of  Livrs.  19-20  (Sherborn  and  Woodward,  Ann.  Mag.  Nat. 
Hist.  (7)  8,  p.  164,  1901,  erroneously  give  the  date  as  Dec.  8  and  the  page 
reference  as  1133).  These  livraisons  include  all  of  the  systematic  ornithology, 
which  is  distributed  as  follows,  according  to  a  "Table  et  classification  des 
matieres  contenues  dans  le  premier  volume."  The  "Table"  is  given  on  certain 
preliminary  pages  of  Vol.  I  of  Pt.  7  but  is  not  included  in  the  several  sections  of 
that  volume  issued  separately  as  in  the  present  instance.  Livr.  14  contained 
the  ornithological  title;  Livr.  16,  pll.  1-5;  Livr.  17,  feuilles  1-5  (=pp.  1-40), 
pll.  6-10;  Livr.  18,  feuilles  6-10  (  =  pp.  41-80),  pll.  11-14;  Livr.  19,  feuilles  11-13 
(=pp.  81-98  +  1  1.),  pll.  15-16;  Livr.  20,  pll.  17-20. 

In  the  first  section  of  Vol.  I  of  Pt.  7  (Anatomic  par  M.  Paul  Gervais),  pp.  65-92 
and  pll.  14-16  are  devoted  to  the  "Deuxieme  Memoire.  Description  osteolo- 
gique  de  1'hoazin,  du  kamichi,  du  cariama  et  du  savacou,  suivi  de  remarques  sur 
les  affinites  naturelles  des  oiseaux,  par  M.  Paul  Gervais."  This  ornithological 
matter  is  distinct  from  Des  Murs's  report  and  the  two  are  not  found  together 
except  in  the  complete  volume.

descriptions  and  with  the  range,  migration,  habits,  song,  nest  and  eggs  of  each

counts by  other  authors  or  from  manuscript  contributions  by  numerous  corres- 
pondents, to  each  of  whom  full  credit  is  given  for  every  quotation.  In  addition, 
a  chapter  on  the  migration  of  warblers  (pp.  14-20)  is  accredited  to  Cooke  (who 
also  supplied  the  migration  tables  and  much  of  the  accounts  of  distribution 
throughout  the  work)  and  one  on  the  food  of  warblers  (pp.  23-32)  is  by  For- 
bush. The  book  is  very  well  illustrated.

The  above  six  volumes  form  the  ornithological  part  of  a  set  of  22  volumes,  to 
which  may  be  added  9  volumes  of  "Tables  alphab^tiques,"  one  to  each  section 
of  the  work,  published  later  than  the  general  text.  The  volume  of  the  "Tables" 
on  ornithology  (by  Desmarest)  is  not  included  in  the  present  set.  This  set 
contains  the  original  wrappers  to  Vols.  IV- VI,  dated,  respectively,  1853,  1853 
and  1854.  Waterhouse  indirectly  gives  the  date  of  Vols.  II  and  III  as  1852 
(Galbuloides  and  Sylviorthorhynchus) ,  and  Gray  (Cat.  Gen.  and  Subgen.  Birds, 
1855)  assigns  the  date  1852  to  Vol.  I  (Strigymnhemipus).

The  work  is  rare  and  important  as  it  contains  a  number  of  new  names.  Des 
Murs  is  probably  the  author  of  most  of  the  ornithological  text  although  he  is 
given  slight  mention  on  the  title-pages  and  none  on  the  original  wrappers.

A  report  on  the  birds  of  California  prepared  by  Cooper  from  his  own  observations 
and  field  work,  and  submitted  to  Baird  for  revision  and  publication.  Baird 
added  considerable  matter,  which  appears  over  his  signature,  in  addition  to 
the  technical  descriptions  which  were  taken,  principally,  from  Baird,  Cassin 
and  Lawrence's  "The  Birds  of  North  America,"  1860  (q.v.).  The  general  ac- 
counts, except  where  signed  otherwise,  are  from  the  pen  of  Cooper.  Volume  II 
was  to  have  comprised  a  similar  volume  on  the  water  birds,  but  was  replaced 
by  the  two  volumes  of  Baird,  Brewer  and  Ridgway  on  "The  Water  Birds  of 
North  America,"  1884  (q.v.),  issued,  eventually,  in  the  Memoirs  of  the  Museum

same  year,  and  differing  only  in  the  title-pages.  The  plan  of  the  work  is  that 
successfully  followed  by  the  author  in  his  earlier  works,  "How  to  Know  the 
Shore  Birds"  and  "How  to  Know  the  Ducks,  Geese  and  Swans,"  1897  (q.v.)- 
Appended  is  a  check-list  of  species,  based  on  the  author's  previous  "A  List  of 
the  Birds  of  Eastern  North  America,"  1896  (q.v.)  but  with  the  addition  of  sev- 
eral species  and  subspecies  and  annotations  relative  to  distribution,  habitat,  etc.

following  a  modified  "quinary  system."  The  work  originally  appeared  in  thirty- 
six  monthly  parts  with  colored  plates,  in  1854-6;  the  present  reissue,  with  some

A  repaged  copy  of  the  author's  "Catalogue  of  the  Birds  of  North  America  con- 
tained in  the  Museum,"  etc.,  published  in  the  Communications  of  the  Essex 
Institute,  5,  Art.  12,  pp.  249-314,  May  1868,  with  the  addition  of  a  title-page 
(missing)  and  an  index  (pp.  67-71).  The  subtitle  is  differently  divided,  also,  in 
the  two  issues.  Coues  (Ornith.  Bibliogr.,  ist  Instalment,  from  which  the  title- 
page  is  quoted  as  above)  says  that  the  reprint  gives  the  faunal  list  precedence 
over  the  museum  catalogue,  but  this  is  true  only  as  regards  the  title,  — the 
general  text  is  unaltered.  Coues  adds,  of  the  reprint,  "Only  50  copies  extant." 
The  present  copy  is  inscribed,  "C  from  C"  (Cory  from  Coues?).  An  extract 
of  this  paper  from  the  original  periodical  is  among  the  pamphlets  in  this  library.

A  list  of  species  and  subspecies  recognized  by  the  author,  arranged  and  numbered 
consecutively,  with  an  appendix  on  pages  123-137.  The  list  was  printed  and  a 
few  copies  distributed  in  1873,  without  the  appendix  which  delayed  the  final 
publication  until  the  following  year.  The  list  thus  may  be  quoted  as  of  1873 
and  the  appendix  1874.  IQ  the  latter  year  the  same  list  appeared  as  part  of  a 
volume  by  the  author  entitled,  "Field  Ornithology"  (q.v.),  the  general  text  of 
which,  later,  was  incorporated  into  the  "Key  to  North  American  Birds,"  (edi- 
tions 2  el  seq.;  cf.  ed.  1887)  while  the  "Check  List"  passed  through  a  second 
edition,  without  extraneous  matter,  in  1882  (q.v.).

The  first  portion  of  the  volume  (pp.  5-116)  contains  thorough  instructions  for  the 
bird-collector.  This  was  originally  intended  for  inclusion  in  the  author's  "Key 
to  North  American  Birds,"  1872  (q.v.),  was  omitted  from  the  first  edition  of 
that  work  on  account  of  want  of  space,  but  was  inserted  in  the  second  (1884) 
and  subsequent  editions,  and  was  later  (1890)  embodied  in  the  author's  "Hand- 
book of  Field  and  General  Ornithology"  (q.v.).  The  second  part  of  the  present 
volume  comprises  the  author's  "A  Check  List  of  North  American  Birds"  with 
supplement,  — identical  in  all  respects  with  that  work  (q.v.,  1873-74)  which 
is  simply  another  form  of  the  same  publication.

far  as  perfected,  the  bibliography  is  very  complete  and  there  are  but  few  omis-

far  as  perfected,  the  bibliography  is  very  complete  and  there  are  but  few  omis- 
sions, but  various  departments  of  the  subject  are  not  treated,  even  in  the 
American  sections.  The  collation  of  each  part  is  given  separately  under  the 
respective  heading. 

Copies  of  Parts  I-IV  have  been  extracted  from  their  original  covers  and  bound 
together  in  one  volume  which  is  collated  above.  The  volume  was  never  issued 
in  this  form.

i  vol.  (pt.)  8vo,  pp.  I-VII,  521-1072.  Washington.   Sept.  30,  1880. 

The  bibliography  occupies  pages  521-1066  and  contains  the  titles  of  all  publica- 
tions treating  of  particular  species,  genera  or  families  of  birds  arranged  by 
families,  dates,  and  author's  names,  and  relating  only  to  American  species. 
It  thus  supplements  the  first  and  second  instalments  of  the  work,  and  together 
with  them  was  calculated  to  form  a  nearly  complete  bibliography  of  American 
ornithology.  A  fourth  part,  relating  to  British  ornithology,  was  published  the 
same  year  as  the  present  contribution.  The  four  parts  are  listed  jointly  under 
the  present  author  as  "Ornithological  Bibliography,"  1878-80  (q.v.),  and  are 
bound  together  in  one  volume  in  the  copy  at  hand.  Date  is  from  the  original

Printed  from  the  same  plates  as  the  second  edition  (1884)  with  the  addition  of 
an  appendix  on  pages  865-985  in  which  are  included  discoveries  and  nomen- 
clatorial  changes  made  since  the  earlier  work.  Since  the  "Check  List"  of  the 
American  Ornithologists'  Union  was  published  in  the  interim  (1886  q.v.), 
comparisons  between  it  and  the  systematic  arrangement  used  in  the  "Key" 
are  made  by  means  of  parallel  columns.  The  second  edition,  used  as  the  basis 
for  the  present  one,  was  an  entirely  rewritten  work  although  bearing  the  same 
general  title  as  the  first  edition,  its  predecessor(q.v.,  1872).  Among  the  inno- 
vations, on  pages  1-227,  are  extended  chapters  on  field  ornithology  and  general 
ornithology  which  were  published  later  as  a  separate  work  (Cf.  Coues,  Hand- 
book of  Field  and  General  Ornithology,  1890).  The  chapter  on  field  ornitho- 
logy was  originally  published  in  conjunction  with  the  "Check  List"  in  1874  as 
a  separate  work  under  the  title,  "Field  Ornithology"  (q.v.).

A  German  translation  of  Cuvier's  "Regne  Animal"  (Cf.  ed.  1829-30.),  edited  by 
Schinz  with  numerous  annotations  by  the  editor.  The  general  discussion  of 
the  birds  occupies  pp.  438-868  and  889  of  Vol.  I.  In  Vol.  IV,  pp.  512-555, 
Schinz  adds  descriptions  and  comments  on  various  species  and  genera,  as  an 
appendix  to  the  earlier  text.  In  Vol.  V,  also,  pp.  562-570,  is  the  ornithological 
portion  of  a  comparative  table  showing  the  genera  of  Linn6  (1788)  and  the 
present  work;  a  bibliography  occupies  pp.  635-767  of  which  635-658  are  strictly 
ornithological. 

In  at  least  one  instance,  Schinz  presents  a  new  name  in  ornithology.  On  p.  782 
of  Vol.  I,  Tringa  pygmaea  is  described  and  accredited  to  Brehm.  Brehm,  how- 
ever, did  not  publish  his  description  until  the  following  year  (Beitrage  zur 
Vogelkunde,  3,  p.  355,  1822)  when  he  named  it  schinzii,  as  pointed  out  by 
Schinz  in  the  present  work  (Vol.  IV,  pi.  529.)

part  of  each  account  consists  of  a  careful  translation  of  Cuvier's  text  supple- 
mented by  detailed  descriptions  of  species  which  Cuvier  mentioned  only  by 
name  or  not  at  all.  These  interpolations  are  indented  on  the  page  and  are 
printed  in  small  type  to  distinguish  them  from  Cuvier's  text,  and  appear  to  be 
the  work  of  John  Edward  Gray.1  The  second  part  of  the  account  of  each  order 
consists  of  a  voluminous  account  of  habits  and  peculiarities  of  numerous  species, 
genera  and  larger  groups  of  the  order  in  question,  and  it  appears  probable  that 
Pidgeon  is  responsible  for  this  portion  of  the  text.1  New  names  occur  on  sev- 
eral of  the  plates  to  which  reference  is  made  in  Pidgeon's  text  but  not  in  Gray's 
[Cf.  Phytotoma  bloxami,  pi.  at  p.  319,  and  Regulus  byronensis,  pi.  at  p.  42,  both 
in  Vol.  VII  (Aves  II).].  The  authorship  of  these  names  has  been  credited  to 
Gray  but  perhaps  should  belong  to  Pidgeon.  New  names  also  occur  in  the 
systematic  lists  undoubtedly  written  by  Gray. 

At  the  close  of  Vol.  VIII  (Aves  III),  pp.  677-690,  occurs  "Observations  on 
several  of  the  genera  and  species  of  the  order  Passeres  of  Cuvier,  by  Wil- 
liam Swainson,"  with  page-references  to  the  preceding  volumes. 

The  index-volume  presents  first  "A  Tabular  View  of  the  Classification  of  Ani- 
mals adopted  by  the  Baron  Cuvier;  with  specific  examples."  The  ornithology 
of  this  synopsis  occupies  pp.  XIII-XXV  but  is  without  evidence  of  authorship. 
Many  of  the  vernacular  generic  names  adopted  by  Cuvier  are  here  given  in 
Latin  and  a  species  (not  necessarily  the  type)  is  cited  for  each.  A  bibliography 
closes  the  volume. 

Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  XLI,  1922)  states  that  the  work 
wasissued  in  parts  (3 to  each  vol.)and  that  it  wassaid  to  beaquarterly.  Mathews 
(Birds  of  Australia,  7,  p.  475,  1919)  gives  a  few  dates  supplied  by  Richmond, 
as  follows.  Pt.  14  (Aves  i),  advertised  on  Dec.  i,  1827;  15,  advertised  on 
March  29,  1828  as  to  be  published  on  March  31;  (16  including  18  pll.)  publ. 


»A  statement  on  pp.  675  and  676  of  Vol.  VIII  (Aves  III)  speaks  of  the  systematic  portions  9f  the 
foregoing  accounts  as  having  been  entrusted  to  a  certain  gentlemen  who  was  in  possession  of 
unusual  opportunities  for  practical  information  on  the  subject.  The  first  of  the  systematic  ac- 
counts, that  of  the  Accipitres  in  Vol.  VI  (Aves  I),  has  a  footnote  on  p.  86  signed  by  Gray  who 
assumes  authorship  of  the  entire  preceding  list. 

•All  footnotes  in  this  section  of  the  text  are  signed  by  "E.  P(idgeon)."  if  signed  at  all,  and  reference 
is  sometimes  made  to  J.  E.  Gray  as  to  another  person.

These  two  volumes  represent  the  ornithological  portion  of  the  "Disciples  Edition" 
of  Cuvier,  published  in  22  vols.  from  1838-49.  The  volume  of  text  appears  to 
be  a  verbatim  reprint  of  the  ornithological  part  of  Vol.  I  of  the  second  edition 
of  the  "Regne  Animal"  (q.v.,  1829-30).  The  "Atlas"  with  its  explanatory 
descriptions  of  the  plates  contained  therein,  is  probably  to  be  accredited  en- 
tirely to  D'Orbigny.  The  plates  are  very  fine  for  the  period. 

According  to  Engelmann,  the  ornithology  of  this  series  occupied  27  livraisons. 
Sherborn  [Ann.  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.  (9),  10,  p.  555,  1922]  records  the  exact  dates  on 
which  the  various  parts  were  received  at  the  British  Museum.  The  dates 
may  be  summarized  as  follows.  Pp.  1-66,  1838;  67-82,  1839;  83-90,  1844; 
("obviously  an  imperfection  supplied  later");  91-106,  1840;  107-114,  1841; 
115-122,  1842  ("obviously  an  imperfection  supplied  later");  123-138,  1841;  139- 
258,  1842;  259-370,  1843.  ("As  neither  plates  nor  explanation  to  plates  are 
dated,  I  presume  they  accompanied  the  text," — Sherborn).

The  report  on  the  zoological  collections  obtained  by  the  members  of  the  Beagle 
expedition.  As  indicated  above,  Pt.  Ill  is  devoted  to  the  birds.  The  "de- 
scriptions of  the  new  species  and  names  of  those  already  known"  were  supplied 
by  Gould,  but  owing  to  the  incompleteness  of  his  manuscript,  Darwin  was 
obliged  to  emend  and  enlarge  certain  portions  of  this  part  of  the  text.  Darwin 
acknowledges  the  assistance  of  Gray  in  the  matter  of  synonymy  and  general 
arrangement,  and  gives  frequent  references  to  him  in  places  where  his  assist- 
ance has  been  used.  He  also  states  ("Advertisement,"  pp.  I  and  II)  that  Gould 
is  to  be  credited  with  all  new  descriptions  of  genera  and  species  and  he  (Darwin) 
with  all  accounts  of  habits  and  ranges,  although  he  has  not  indicated  the  divi- 
sion of  text  throughout  the  work.  The  case  proves  to  be  not  so  simple  as  it 
seems. 

The  generic  names  of  some  of  the  new  species  have  been  altered  to  accord  with 
generic  changes  proposed  herein  by  Gray,  as,  for  example,  Myiobius  magniro- 
stris,  p.  48,  pi.  VIII.  Gould's  manuscript  name,  Tyrannula  magnirostris,  is 
cited  in  synonymy  but  appears  on  the  plate,  while  the  new  combination  is 
given  without  authority  other  than  that  it  follows  Gray's  proposal  of  Myiobius 
for  Tyrannula  of  Swainson.  In  this  case,  the  authorship  of  the  species  may 
remain  with  Gould  since  the  plate  has  priority  over  the  text  (see  below),  but 
Darwin  appears  to  be  properly  the  author  of  the  new  combination  of  names. 
In  the  case  of  Myiobius  parvirostris,  described  on  the  same  page  but  not  figured, 
Darwin  also  becomes  the  author  of  the  species. 

In  other  cases,  generic  names  have  been  altered  in  similar  manner  but  the  new 
names  are  used,  likewise,  on  the  plates  whence  they  cannot  be  quoted  as  of 
Gould,  since  Gould  never  used  the  combination  of  terms,  even  in  manuscript. 
Such  cases,  including  Pachyramphus  albescens,  p.  50,  pi.  XIV,  must  bear  Dar- 
win's name  as  author.  In  still  other  cases,  as  that  of  Opetiorhynchus  nigro- 
fumosus,  p.  68,  Gould's  manuscript  specific  name  is  subordinated  owing  to 
supposed  synonymy,  but  it  had  already  appeared  on  the  plate  (PI.  XX  in 
the  example  given)  whence  it  may  still  be  quoted  as  of  Gould.  Most  of  the 
new  species,  fortunately,  are  described  and  accredited  properly  without 
discrepancy.

Among  other  material  and  matter  ascribed  to  Gray  is  a  page  of  "Corrigenda" 
(on  a  leaf  following  the  list  of  plates).  This  is  easily  overlooked  but  important 
since  it  contains  several  new  names  which  may  have  priority  over  Gray's 
"List  of  the  Genera  of  Birds,"  second  edition,  1841  (q.v.),  from  which  they 
are  usually  quoted.  Eyton's  anatomical  "Appendix"  occupies  pp.  147-156. 

The  entire  report  was  issued  in  parts,  of  which  the  ornithology  comprised  Nos. 
3,  6,  9,  ii  and  15.  The  dates  and  contents  of  each  were  obtained  by  Sherborn 
from  the  publishers  and  given  by  him  (Ann.  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.,  (6)  20,  p.  483, 
1897)  as  follows.  Pt.  3,  pp.  1-16,  July  1838;  Pt.  6,  pp.  17-32,  Jan.  1839;  Pt. 
9>  PP-  33-56,  July  1839;  Pt.  n,  pp.  57-96,  Nov.  1839;  Pt.  15,  pp.  97-164,  March 
1841.  Each  part  contained  10  plates,  presumably  issued  in  numerical  se- 
quence; a  review  of  the  first  three  numbers  on  birds  (given  in  the  Rev.  Zool.  for 
Nov.  1839,  pp.  338-339)  cites  pll.  1-30.  Sherborn  does  not  cite  the  allocation 
of  title-pages  and  other  preliminary  matter  (including  the  page  with  Gray's 
"Corrigenda");  it  is  presumed  that  they  appeared  with  Pt.  15.

of  the  nests,  eggs,  and  nesting  habits  of  the  birds  of  the  country.  The  original

combined  it  with  the  earlier  work  and  published  it  in  the  form  of  a  new  edition

This  work  contains  descriptions  and  figures  of  164  species  of  Brazilian  birds,  in- 
cluding 15  new  species  and  a  new  genus.  According  to  Carus  and  Engelmann, 
and  Coues,  it  was  issued  in  four  parts  under  dates  of  1854-56,  but  the  reverse 
of  the  title-page  is  lettered,  "Londres:|  de  Timprimerie  de  Joseph  Masters  et 
Cie.,  |  Rue  d'Aldersgate,  1852."  This  title-page  appeared  in  Pt.  I.  A  sep- 
arate copy  of  Pt.  I  is  at  hand,  bound  in  original  wrappers  (boards)  containing 
pp.  1-14  and  pll.  1-12;  the  cover-title  agrees  with  the  title  transcribed 
above  to  which  is  added  the  dedication  (also  on  p.  3)  and  the  words,  "Part  I." 
The  examination  of  the  complete  work,  with  respect  to  slight  peculiarities  of 
typography  and  arrangement, reveals  rather  conclusively  that  Pt.  II  probably 
contained  pp.  15-22  and  pll.  13-24;  Pt.  Ill,  pp.  23-32  and  pll.  25-36;  Pt.  IV,  pp. 
33-42  and  pll.  37-48,  but  no  dates  are  available  for  any  part.  Carus  and  Engel- 
mann also  cite  an  edition  in  English,  without  date.

The  work  was  published  in  1 2  livraisons,  the  contents  of  which  may  be  ascertained 
from  the  "Avis  servant  de  table"  which  gives  the  final  arrangement  of  plates 
in  the  volume  and  the  livraisons  in  which  plates  and  text  appeared.  Sherborn 
(Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  XLIII,  1922)  cites  Livrs.  1-4,  1805:5-10, 
1806  and  ii-i2,  1807.  The  present  copy,  bound  in  boards,  has  on  the  front 
cover  the  date  "XIV.  =  1805"  with  other  slight  alterations  in  the  wording  of 
the  title.  This  cover  may  have  been  one  of  the  wrappers  of  the  work  as  issued. 
Englemann's  citation  quotes  two  volumes,  1805,  (49  and  23  plates,  duplicated — 
colored  and  uncolored),  with  a  portrait  of  the  author.  I  can  find  no  other 
reference  to  the  portrait  in  any  bibliographies. 

The  present  copy  seems  to  have  belonged  to  Lorenzvon  Oken  whose  surname  is 
inscribed  on  the  inside  of  the  cover.  A  second  copy  differs  in  having  the  index 
to  the  plates  bound  as  a  fourth  preliminary  leaf  instead  of  at  the  close  of  the 
volume.

Published  in  12  livraisons  of  6  plates  each  with  corresponding  text.  The  text  of 
each  species  is  separately  dated  but  as  these  dates  are  not  consecutive  through- 
out they  probably  represent  the  completion  of  the  manuscript  and  not  the 
dates  of  issue.  Sherborn  (Index  Animaliam,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  XLIII,  1922) 
gives  the  following  dates.  Livr.  I,  post  Aug.  1845;  2,  Febr.  1846;  3,  July  1846;

The  plates  are  very  finely  executed.  Errors  in  the  numbering  are  as  follows;

above.  Three  plates  were  omitted  from  the  later  issue  and  noted  in  the  in- 
dices, "description  only,"  although  they  had  been  published  in  the  original. 
This  may  have  been  due  to  the  necessity  for  redrawing  the  first  six  parts  during 
the  course  of  publishing  the  original,  in  order  to  permit  an  increase  in  the  circu- 
lation. The  missing  plates  and  errors  in  the  indices  of  plates  are  as  follows, —

A  narrative  of  the  voyage,  with  occasional  notes  about  birds.  On  pages  356-360 
are  descriptions  of  four  birds  accompanied  by  as  many  plates  by  W.  Lewin. 
The  narrative  consists  of  a  series  of  letters  written  by  one  of  the  officers  on

Captain  Dixon  who  added  the  detailed  notes  in  the  appendix.  The  letters 
are  signed  "W.  B.,"  which,  from  the  list  of  ship's  officers  given  by  Portlock  in 
his  work  of  the  same  title  and  date  as  the  present  one  (q.v.),  seems  to  point  to 
William  Beresford,  Assistant  Trader.  The  official  account  of  the  voyage  is 
given  by  Captain  Portlock,  Commander  of  the  Expedition,  in  his  book.

Title  self-explanatory.  The  plates  are  not  well  drawn  and  are  often  inaccurate, 
but  the  hand-coloring  is  delicate  and  gives  the  book  an  artistic,  if  not  scientific, 
importance.  According  to  Mullens  and  Swann  the  work  seems  to  have  been 
issued  in  50  monthly  parts,  each  consisting  of  2  plates  and  the  accompanying 
text.  The  first  five  volumes  were  reissued  in  1799  and  the  entire  work  in  1815-

cites  1821  et.  seq.  The  preface  to  Vol.  I  is  dated  March  i,  1823,  and  as  this 


1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  177 

came  out  with  the  twelfth  and  last  part  of  that  volume  as  indicated  therein, 
it  is  fairly  certain  that  the  first  part  was  issued  early  in  1822.  The  first  plates 
of  Vol.  I  are  dated  April  1822  and  the  last,  April  i,  1823;  the  last  in  Vol.  II, 
March  i,  1824;  Vol.  Ill,  April  i,  1825;  Vol.  IV,  March  i,  1826;  Vol.  V,  Dec.  i, 
1826.  The  present  set  is  supplied  with  new  title-pages  dated,  as  transcribed 
above,  1834;  but  the  body  of  the  work  is  identical  with  the  original.  That 
this  format  is  nothing  but  the  old  letterpress  and  plates  with  new  titles  is  in- 
dicated by  the  fact  that  the  watermarks  on  the  plates  of  Vol  I  are  dated  1821 
and  those  of  Vol.  V,  1824,  a  circumstance  hardly  likely  if  the  work  had  been 
reprinted.  Hagen  (loc.  cit.)  records  a  "Neue  Titel-Ausgabe.  1834."

pages  nor  plates  are  numbered,  except  in  the  indices.  The  work  was  issued  in 
84  parts  without  regard  to  sequence  of  subject  matter,  and  reference  to  the 
tables  is  necessary  to  determine  the  date  of  publication  of  any  subject.  Volume

I  appeared  last,  in  December,  1881,  according  to  the  original  wrapper  which 
is  bound  with  that  volume  in  the  set  at  hand,  but  Mullens  and  Swann  give 
1882  as  the  final  date.  The  author  gives  credit  to  R.  B.  Sharpe  for  certain 
parts  of  the  earlier  numbers  (I-XII),  1871,  and  to  A.  Walden  (Marquis  of 
Tweeddale)  for  other  contributions.  A  "Supplement"  (q.v.)  was  issued  in 
1895-96.

by  Keulemans,  J.  Wolf  and  Thorburn).   London. 

The  present  volume  may  be  considered  as  Vol.  IX  of  the  author's  "History  of 
the  Birds  of  Europe,"  1871-82  (q.v.).  It  was  intended  to  treat  only  of  species 
not  included  in  the  original  work,  but  offers  occasional  corrections  to  the  original 
letterpress,  also.  This  "Supplement"  appeared  in  nine  parts,  the  dates  of 
which  are  given  in  a  synopsis  of  the  letterpress,  on  pp.  V-VIII.  For  the  most 
part  the  plates  accompanied  their  respective  descriptions,  but  occasionally 
substitutions  were  made  which  are  noted  on  the  wrappers  but  not  in  the  letter- 
press. The  distribution  of  the  plates  among  the  nine  parts  is  as  follows.  Pt. 
I,  pll.  634-644;  Pt.  n,  pll.  645-650,  652-654  and  657;  Pt.  in,  pll.  651,  655-663 
and  665;  Pt.  IV,  pll.  664  and  666-674;  Pt.  V,  pll.  675-684;  Pt.  VI,  pll.  685-693 
and  696;  Pt.  VII,  pll.  695,  697-700,  704,  706,  708,  711  and  713;  Pt.  Vm,  pll.

718  and  720-722.  The  descriptions  are  indexed  on  pp.  V-VIII  where,  however, 
they  are  numbered  in  a  sequence  of  species  which  does  not  correspond  with 
the  numbers  on  the  plates.  Errors  in  the  names  of  MelizohpUus  deserticola, 
Parus  cinereus  and  Bucanetes  obsoletus  (called  M.  deserticolus,  Parus  atriceps 
and  Erythrospiza  absoleta  on  the  plates)  are  corrected  on  the  wrappers,  in  the 
lists  of  plates.

The  work  was  published  in  141  livraisons  concerning  which  not  much  informa-

in  the  periodical  for  December  of  that  year ;  in  the  number  for  October  1861, 
Livrs.  131-141  are  recorded  as  of  1859-60.  An  advertisement  on  p.  IV  of  Vol.  I 
of  Dubois  and  Dubois's  "Les  Oiseaux  de  1'Europe,"  1861-72  (q.v.),  the  present 
work  is  advertised  as  having  been  published  in  1854-60  although  in  the  preface 
to  Vol.  II  of  the  same  work,  Alphonse  Dubois  remarks  that  the  book  was 
commenced  (not  necessarily  published)  in  1851. 

The  present  series  was  continued  by  the  "Les  Oiseaux  de  1'Europe"  which 
treats  of  the  birds  of  Europe  not  found  in  Belgium;  the  two  works  together  con- 
stitute an  illustrated  review  of  the  birds  of  all  Europe.

Actually,  many  of  the  plates  are  differently  numbered  (with  the  leaves 
usually  numbered  to  correspond).  The  following  mistakes  have  been  noted. 
Vol.  I:  (page  and  plate)  zc,  wrongly  numbered  2b;  sb.-sa;  32a,-33a;  52,-59; 
59, -52;  82a,-83a,  losb.-iosa.  Vol.  II:  (page  and  plate)  1143,  wrongly 
numbered  114;  H9,-ii8b;ii9a,-ii9;  H9b,-ii9a;  i27,-i25a;  I27a,-i27;  131,- 
134;  141, -142,  142, -141;  144-145  (only  on  page);  I52a,-i52b;  i58,-is8a;  169, 
-i68a;  I73.-I74;  I74b,-i74a;  I7sb,-i75a;  i8i,-i82;  i83,-i8ib;  i84,-i82;  185,- 
183;  i86,-i84(  only  on  plate);  i89,-i83;  I9i,-i92.  There  are  no  pages  of  text 
for  pll.  2a,  2C,  53,  sc,  4ia,  116,  i3ib,  1553,  1573,  164  (bis),  177  (bis),  and  184, 
but  this  may  be  due  to  imperfection  in  the  copy. 

This  work,  like  its  predecessor,  appeared  in  livraisons  with  (according  to  the 
Ibis,  Oct.  1864,  p.  396)  three  plates  and  accompanying  text  to  each  part. 
The  various  parts  were  so  mixed  in  contents  that  it  is  impossible  to  fix  the  dates 
of  most  of  the  plates  with  even  approximate  accuracy.  Livrs.  i-io  are  re- 
viewed in  the  Revue  et  Magasin  for  July,  1862,  p.  280,  as  having  appeared  in 
1861;  11-25  i°  ^e  same  periodical  for  April,  1864,  p.  118,  as  of  1861-62;  26-40 
in  the  same  for  Sept.  1866,  p.  351,  as  of  1863-64;  78-98  in  the  same  for  Jan. 
1870,  p.  34,  as  of  1866-69.  In  the  same  journal  for  Jan.  1870,  p.  351,  it  is 
stated  that  Livrs.  182-218,  complete  series  (  =  41-77,  present  series),  had  been 
delayed  but  would  be  issued  shortly.  The  contents  of  a  few  assortments  of 
livraisons  are  given  in  the  references  cited.  Livrs.  i-io  are  said  to  contain  the 
text  to  pll.  10,  80,  87,  88,  90,  93,  94  and  118;  26-40  are  said  to  contain  pll. 
i3i  15.  16,  21,  22,  47,  70,  83,  102,  103,  116,  118,  136,  140  and  VI;  78-98  are 
said  to  contain  the  following  species  (named  in  the  review  but  here  given  by 
number),  -la,  273,  32a,  3sb,  36a,  43a,  44a,  46,  47,  48,  49,  soa,  sob,  60,  66 
and  88a,  together  with  (in  Livrs.  89-91)  the  title-page,  preface,  descriptions 
of  genera  and  list  of  contents  (pp.  I-XLVI)  of  Vol.  I.  This  preface  bears  the 
date  of  April  1868;  that  of  Vol.  II,  December  1871.  Vol.  I  is  autographed 
by  "Dr.  Gustav  Flor,  Dorpat,  1868,"  and  Vol.  II,  the  same  "1872"  so  the  dates 
on  the  title-pages  are  probably  correct. 

The  present  work  appears  to  contain  an  occasional  new  name  such  as,  for 
example,  Phylloscopus  pallasii,  proposed  on  p.  83  of  Vol.  I  although  relegated 
to  the  synonymy  of  Reguloides  superciliosus  on  p.  CIX  of  Vol.  II. 

C.  F.  Dubois  died  in  1867  leaving  his  son,  Alphonse  Dubois,  the  junior 
author,  to  complete  the  work.  The  preface  to  Vol.  I  is  signed  by  Alphonse  who 
speaks  of  certain  alterations  which  he  intends  to  make  in  the  plan  of  the  work. 

The  present  copy  has  bound  with  it  the  authors'  "Catalogue  Syste"matique  des 
Oiseaux  de  1'Europe,"  1866  (q.v.).  The  present  copy  is  from  the  library  of 
"Othmar  Reiser,  Sarajevo.  1888."

Part  of  the  zoological  report  (by  Quoy  and  Gaimard)  from  the  complete  report

1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  185 

but  contains  all  the  ornithological  matter,  which  is  in  Vol.  I.  The  Zoology 
(excluding  Entomology)  forms  the  3rd  division  of  the  complete  report  and 
is  advertised  in  each  of  the  volumes  at  hand  as  comprising  5  volumes  while 
the  Entomology  forms  the  4th  division  in  i  volume.  However,  only  4  vols. 
of  the  3rd  division  appear  to  have  been  issued.  Furthermore,  the  indices  of 
Vol.  I  (pp.  261  and  265)  refer  to  the  preceding  pages  as  constituting  only  a 
first  part  of  that  volume,  so  a  second  part,  evidently,  was  in  contemplation 
(probably  to  discuss  the  fishes  and  reptiles,  which  are  not  elsewhere  treated). 
Vol.  II  was  issued  in  two  parts,  as  indicated  in  the  collation.  The  concluding 
portion  of  the  text  relating  to  the  Mollusks,  the  text  for  the  Zoophytes  and  that 
for  the  Insects  are  missing  although  the  plates  are  all  present.  The  plates, 
in  the  copy  at  hand,  are  bound  in  two  volumes  with  duplicate  title-pages,  all 
up  to  Mollusk  PI.  25  being  contained  in  the  first  volume  and  the  remainder  in 
the  second. 

Details  as  to  dates  of  publication  are  very  meager  but  are  summarized  by  Sher- 
born  and  Woodward  in  the  Ann.  and  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.  ser.  7,  8,  p.  333,  1901. 
The  dates  given  on  the  title-pages  of  Vols.  I  and  II  (Pts.  i  and  2)  appear  to 
be  accurate.  Fortunately  the  plates  bear  only  vernacular  names  and  their 
dates  are,  therefore,  unimportant.  The  entomological  plates  issued  in  1835, 
extend  the  full  date  of  the  present  copy  to  that  year. 

The  ornithological  matter  occupies  pp.  153-259  and  respective  portions  of  the 
errata  and  indices  of  Vol.  I.  It  consists  almost  entirely  of  descriptions  of  new 
species  of  birds  from  New  Guinea,  New  Zealand,  Celebes,  Australia  and  other 
points  reached  on  the  voyage,  with  occasional  descriptions  of  imperfectly 
known  or  unfigured  birds  previously  described  by  former  workers.

The  zoological  portion  of  the  complete  report  on  the  voyage  of  the  Astrolabe  and 
Zel£e.  Vol.  Ill  contains  all  the  text  relating  to  birds.  This  is  found  in  Part 
i  of  the  volume,  pp.  6-166  under  the  subtitle  "Zoologie,  Mammiferes  et  Oiseaux 
par  M.  Honor6  Jacquinot  et  M.  le  Dr.  Pucheran,"  of  which  pp.  47-158  and  164- 
166  are  ornithological.  Although  Jacquinot's  name  appears  on  the  subtitle- 
page,  a  statement  in  the  introduction  (obviously  by  Pucheran  although  un- 
signed) announces  that  neither  Hombron  nor  Jacquinot  is  to  be  held  respons- 
ible for  errors  in  the  nomenclature  adopted  in  the  succeeding  text  for  which  he 
(Pucheran)  is  alone  to  blame.  It  is  evident  that  Pucheran  must  be  quoted 
as  author  of  the  ornithology  and  mammalogy.  (Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia 
7,  p.  461)  states  that  he  possesses  a  copy  of  this  portion  with  Pucheran's  name 
alone  on  the  subtitle-page.  However,  on  pp.  128-152  is  an  article  credited 
to  Jacquinot,  entitled,  "Remarques  sur  quelques  points  de  I'Anatomie  et  de 
la  Physiologic  des  Procellarides,  et  Essai  d'une  nouvelle  Classification  de  ces 
Oiseaux."  This  appears  to  be  the  paper  by  Hombron  and  Jacquinot  published 
in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  XVIII,  pp.  353-358,  number  for  March  4,  1844 
(publ.  March  u?).  Vol.  Ill  is  correctly  dated  1853  according  to  Sherborn 
(Ann.  and  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.  ser.  7,  7,  p.  390).  The  plates  of  birds  appeared  at 
various  dates  from  May  1842  to  July  1846,  as  tabulated  on  p.  16  of  Vol.  Ill, 
and  all  of  these  antedate  the  text.  However,  all  of  the  plates  except  PI.  32 
contain  only  vernacular  names.  PI.  32  (published  in  April  1844)  is  illustrative 
of  Jacquinot's  article  on  the  Procellariidae  and  contains  several  generic  and 
specific  names  which  are  antedated  by  the  number  of  the  "Comptes  Rendus" 
mentioned  above.  Illustrations  are  given  of  the  bill  of  Priocella  garnotii 
which  is  a  nomen  nudum  in  the  text  under  the  spelling,  "Prioc.  Garnotti." 
Some  of  the  species  figured  by  Hombron  and  Jacquinot  in  the  Atlas  were 
described  by  Gray  (Genera  of  Birds)  and  Bonaparte  (Conspectus  Avium) 
before  Pucheran's  text  appeared.  These  references  are  quoted  by  Pucheran.

The  zoological  portion  of  Duperrey's  report  on  the  voyage  of  La  Coquille.  This 
portion  is  by  Lesson  and  Garnot,  each  of  whom  supplied  certain  sections  of 
the  text  as  indicated  in  the  headings  of  the  chapters.  The  ornithological 
matter  is  all  contained  in  Vol.  I,  Pts.  i  and  2.  The  complete  zoology  appeared 
in  28  livraisons,  the  dates  of  which  have  been  recorded  by  Sherborn  and  Wood-

The  plates  of  the  birds  antedate  the  corresponding  descriptions  in  the  text  and 
hence  must  be  cited,  under  Lesson  and  Garnot  together,  for  certain  names. 
Some  of  the  species  were  first  described  elsewhere  (Annales  des  Sciences  Natur- 
elles,  Lesson's  'Manuel  d'Ornithologie,'  etc.)  by  Lesson  or  Garnot,  although 
this  is  not  always  indicated  in  the  present  work  where  these  species  are  again 
described,  ostensibly  as  new.  Furthermore,  Lesson  and  Garnot  do  not  always 
agree  as  to  the  nomenclature  of  some  of  the  birds  and  sometimes  discuss  the 
same  species  under  different  names.  The  authors'  general  remarks  in  early 
chapters  occasionally  contain  a  characterization  of  a  species  which  has  priority 
over  the  detailed  description  in  a  later  chapter.  Thus  the  hummingbird, 
Thaumastura  cora,  is  treated  as  follows.  Orthorynchus  Cora  Lesson  and  Garnot, 
Voy.  Coquille,  Zool.,  pi.  31,  fig.  4  (livr.  4),  July  25,  1827;  orthorynchus  Cora 
Lesson,  Voy.  Coquille,  Zool.,  Vol.  I,  Pt.  i,  p.  252  (livr.  6),  March  22,  1828; 
Ornismya  Cora  Lesson,  Manuel  d'Orn.,  2,  p.  82,  June  1828;  Ornismya  Cora

A  narrative  of  the  voyage,  with  occasional  notes  on  zoology  and  with  a  number 
of  colored  plates  of  birds  and  mammals,  was  published  by  R.  P.  Lesson  in 
1839  (q.v.).

A  series  of  colored  plates  (190  of  birds)  accompanied  by  detailed  descriptions  and 
accounts  of  the  animals  and  other  objects  depicted.  Parts  I  and  II  compose 
Vol.  I,  and  III  and  IV,  Vol.  II.  The  author  seems  to  have  intended  each  volume 
to  be  the  last  one,  but  extended  the  work  to  four  parts  and  continued  it  under 
the  title  of  "Gleanings  of  Natural  History"  (q.v.)  to  seven  parts.  The  work 
was  issued  under  the  subtitles;  the  full  title,  with  the  introduction,  was  added 
at  the  completion  of  the  fourth  part.  The  four  parts  of  the  present  title  were 
translated  into  French  and  issued,  mostly,  subsequent  to  their  respective 
originals  (Cf.  "Histoire  Naturelle  d'Oiseaux,"  1745-51.).  Another  English 
edition,  differing  from  the  present  one  in  various  ways,  was  published  with  the 
same  dates  on  the  title-pages  but  may  have  been  of  later  issue  (Cf .  following 
title.).  A  larger  (medium  folio)  edition  (q.v.)  appeared  about  1805,  after  the 
author's  death.  Edwards's  work,  with  Catesby's  "Natural  History  of  Caro- 
lina," was  translated  into  German  by  Huth  and  published  in  1768-76,  and 


194  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

this  combined  work  was  retranslated  into  Dutch  by  Houttuyn  and  published 
in  1772-81  as  the  "Verzameling  van  Uitlandsche  en  Zeldzaame  Vogelen"  (q.v.). 

Edwards  uses  vernacular  names  in  the  general  text,  following  these  by  Latin  and 
English  names  in  the  catalogues  placed  at  the  close  of  Pts.  II  and  IV;  but  these 
Latin  names,  even  if  binomial,  are  pre-Linnean  and  untenable.  Linn£  later 
named  many  of  the  species  in  his  "Systema  Naturae"  and  further,  in  1776, 
published  a  "Catalogue  of  the  Birds,  Beasts,  Fishes,  Insects,  Plants,  &c.  con- 
tained in  Edwards's  Natural  History,"  (q.v.),  sometimes  considered  as  part  of 
Edwards's  volumes.  See  also,  "Some  Memoirs  of  the  Life  and  Works  of  George 
Edwards,"  1776. 

The  present  copy  is  of  unusual  interest  since  it,  together  with  the  accompanying 
volumes  of  the  "Gleanings,"  belonged  to  Thomas  Pennant  and  contains  numer- 
ous personalia.  The  Latin  name  of  each  species  of  bird,  according  to  Latham's 
"Index  Ornithologicus"  (q.v.),  is  written  at  the  bottom  of  the  respective  plate 
in  Pennant's  handwriting  and  a  manuscript  index  of  these  names  (in  the  "Nat. 
Hist."  and  the  "Gleanings")  with  references  to  Edwards  and  Latham,  is  en- 
closed in  an  envelope  fastened  in  the  front  of  Vol.  I.  At  the  end  of  Pt.  II  is 
placed  the  beginning  of  a  manuscript  list  of  North  American  birds  figured  by 
Edwards,  also  by  Pennant.  In  addition,  there  is  an  uncolored  plate  of  "The 
great  pied  Mountain  Finch  or  Bramlin.  1739"  (the  last  two  figures  being 
engraved  backwards),  below  which  is  written  by  Pennant,  "Edwards'  first 
Essay  towards  Etching  a  Bird"  (See  frontispiece,  Pt.  II.).  Other  personalia 
are  in  the  corresponding  volumes  of  the  "Gleanings"  (q.v.).

don. 

A  second  edition  of  Edwards's  work  of  the  same  title  (Cf.  foregoing),  with  the 
same  dates  on  the  title-pages  but  with  numerous  alterations.  The  whole  of 
Pt.  I  is  reset  (including  the  full  title  and  introduction  which,  in  the  original 
edition,  were  published  after,  or  with,  Pt.  IV) ;  the  dedication  and  preface  are 
repaged  and  the  list  of  subscribers  is  omitted;  the  resetting  of  the  general  text 
has  altered  the  style  of  typography  but  not  the  pagination  except  that  the  last 
paragraphs  on  pp.  19  and  20  have  been  interchanged.  In  Pt.  II  the  subtitle- 
page  appears  to  be  unaltered,  and  the  text  the  same,  except  in  the  appendix 
(pp.  107-214).  The  matter  on  pp.  121-124  an^  at  the  bottom  of  p.  120  (auto- 
biographical details)  has  been  deleted,  but  to  avoid  changes  in  the  pagination 
of  pp.  125-128,  the  missing  page-numbers  have  been  crowded  onto  pp.  119  and 
120,  as  indicated  in  the  collation.  Pts.  Ill  and  IV  appear  to  be  unchanged. 
The  original  illustrations  (if  any  were  published  with  this  edition)  are  missing, 
being  replaced  by  water-colored  copies  made  by  an  unknown  artist.  PI.  105  is 
missing,  but  the  portrait  of  a  Samoyed,  p.  1 18,  is  numbered  105  and  is  colored; 
it  is  uncolored  and  unnumbered  in  the  original  edition.  Each  part  is  bound 
separately,  with  the  French  edition  (q.v.)  of  each  part  added  at  the  close. 
The  title-page,  only,  of  "Some  Memoirs  of  the  Life  and  Works  of  George 
Edwards"  (Cf.  Robson,  J.,  1776)  is  included  in  Pt.  I. 

There  is  no  indication  of  the  actual  dates  of  publication  of  this  edition.  It  is 
evidently  subsequent  to  that  which  I  have  interpreted  as  the  original  edition, 
since  an  accounting  is  made  for  the  eliminated  pages.  The  French  translation, 
which  certainly  dates  after  the  original  in  Pts.  I-III,  retains  the  matter  which 
is  eliminated  in  the  present  edition,  and  this  suggests  that  the  present  edition 
may  have  followed  the  French  one.

tions  are  arranged  in  the  same  sequence  as  the  English  accounts,  but  the  first 
description  is  on  a  right-hand  page  and  the  second  one  on  the  opposite  side  of 
the  leaf,  while  the  first  English  account  is  on  a  left-hand  page  with  No.  2  on 
the  following  leaf.  Thus  when  the  two  editions  are  combined  and  interleaved, 
the  English  and  French  descriptions  of  each  plate  are  on  opposite  pages,  between 
which  the  plate  may  be  conveniently  inserted.  Some  copies  are  bound  in  this 
manner  but  the  set  at  hand  has  the  French  text  of  each  part  collected  separately 
at  the  end  of  the  volumes.  The  dates,  as  shown  above,  differ  from  those  of  the 
English  edition.  Further  evidence  that  the  translation  was  published  sub- 
sequent to  the  original  English  edition  is  found  on  p.  105  of  Pt.  II,  where  it  is 
stated  that  "there  is  a  French  Translation  of  this  Work  design  "d."  The  French 
text  is  continued  by  the  French  portions  of  the  author's  "Gleanings  of  Natural 
History,"  1758-64  (q.v.).  The  translator  of  the  present  work  has  added,  at  the 
bottom  of  p.  XXVII,  Pt.  I,  an  original  observation  on  the  migration  of  birds. 
This  was  quoted  by  Edwards  in  Pt.  II  of  the  English  edition,  p.  116  and  again 
on  p.  10  of  Part  II  of  the  present  translation. 

The  present  copy  is  bound  with  what  appears  to  be  a  second  edition  of  the 
English  text  of  1743-51  (q.v.) ;  there  is  no  French  text  in  the  copy  of  the  original 
issue  of  the  same  years,  also  collated  above.

Usually,  as  in  the  present  case,  both  works  are  bound  uniformly  and  considered 
as  Pts.  I-VII  of  one  work.  The  present  volumes  are  somewhat  differently  ar- 
ranged than  those  of  the  "Natural  History."  Separate  titles  in  English  and 
French  are  given,  and  the  text  is  in  both  languages,  in  parallel  columns.  The 
translation  of  Pts.  I  and  II  is  by  Du  Plessis;  that  of  Pt.  Ill,  by  Barker. 

As  with  "A  Natural  History  of  Uncommon  Birds,"  a  second  edition  was  issued 
with  the  same  dates  on  the  title-pages,  but  with  some  differences  in  the  text 
(Cf.  following  title.),  and  another  edition  in  medium  folio  in  1805  (q.v.).  It  is 
likewise  incorporated  into  the  "Verzameling  van  Uitlandsche  en  Zeldzaame 
Vogelen,"  1772-81  (q.v.). 

The  present  set,  with  that  of  the"  Natural  History, '  'belonged  to  Thomas  Pennant 
and  contains  various  evidences  of  his  ownership.  The  Latin  names  of  the  birds, 
following  Latham,  are  written  at  the  foot  of  the  respective  plates  in  Pennant's 
handwriting,  with  an  occasional  critical  note.  The  back  cover  of  Pt.  Ill  con- 
tains a  manuscript  letter  to  Pennant  signed  by  George  Edwards,  respecting  a 
painting  which  Edwards  was  presenting  to  Pennant,  and  on  the  opposite  page 
is  a  brief  notation  by  Pennant  regarding  the  disposition  made  of  the  gift.  A 
loose  sheet  contains  an  uncolored  print  of  the  figures  of  the  "Black  Linnet"  and 
"Olive-coloured  Linnet"  from  PL  362,  trimmed  to  the  shape  of  the  birds  and 
mounted  on  the  sheet  on  which  are  written  the  names  of  the  species.  The  vol- 
ume is  further  augmented  by  the  addition  of  uncolored  copies  of  1 1  plates  from 
Albin's  "Supplement  to  the  Natural  History  of  Birds,"  1740  (q.v.),  i  from  his 
"History  of  Esculent  Fish,"  1794  and  i,  ornithological,  from  an  unknown 
source  but  resembling  Albin's  plates  and  possibly  an  unpublished  example  of 
his  work.  Pt.  I  is  enriched  by  the  addition  of  two  unpublished  plates  by 
Edwards  representing  two  species  of  Quadrumana,  one  of  which  is  further 
figured  on  PI.  218. 

On  p.  IX  of  Pt.  II,  Edwards  notes  several  plates  which  were  not  drawn  by 
himself.

shortened  by  the  omission  of  certain  matter  (which  is  not  strictly  ornithological)

grouped  together  on  four  adjoining  pages,  as  indicated  in  the  footnote  to  the 
collation.  The  title-pages  and  general  text  appear  to  be  unaltered  but  the 
original  plates  (if  any  in  this  edition)  are  missing,  being  replaced  by  copies  in 
water-colors  by  unknown  artists.

nine  parts.  The  plates  of  Edwards  and  Catesby  were  re-engraved  by  Seligmann 
and  some  of  those  by  Edwards  further  embellished  by  the  addition  of  figures 
of  plants  not  in  the  originals.  The  present  work  is  a  translation  of  the  German 
work,  into  Dutch,  by  Houttuyn  with  Seligmann's  plates.  The  text  appears  to 
follow  Edwards  and  Catesby  closely,  with  the  addition  of  descriptions  of  the 
new  botanical  subjects;  the  plates  are  rather  good  copies  of  the  originals  (with 
the  additions  mentioned),  differing  from  them  somewhat  in  coloration.  The 
nine  parts  of  the  German  book  are  embraced  by  the  five  volumes,  each  of  which 
was  published  with  two  parts  of  the  translation  except  Vol.  V  which  closed 
the  work  with  Part  9.  In  Vols.  I-III  the  pagination  is  continuous  for  each 
volume,  through  both  parts  contained  therein;  in  Vol.  IV  each  part  (Pts.  7

in  one  volume.

A  posthumous  edition  of  Edwards's  "A  Natural  History  of  Uncommon  Birds," 
1743-51  (q.v.),  with  minor  alterations  in  the  text  and  with  all  the  plates  but 
Nos.  134  and  179  in  reverse  (backwards),  lettering  and  numbering  included. 
They  appear  as  though  they  had  been  transferred  from  drawings  or  printed 
sheets  and  not  printed  from  the  copper  plates.  Pll.  134  and  179  are  in  natural 
position  and  show  the  impression  of  the  edges  of  the  copper-plates,  which  the 
remainder  do  not.  All  the  plates  are  exceptionally  finely  colored  and  of  softer 
finish  than  those  of  the  original  edition.  The  general  title-page  is  omitted. 
Although  1802  and  1803  are  given  on  the  subtitles  of  each  part,  there  are  plates 
in  each  part  which  are  watermarked  1803  and  1805,  from  which  it  would  appear 
that  the  reissue  (including  that  of  the  "Gleanings  of  Natural  History"  con- 
tinuing the  present  work)  appeared  entire,  in  1 805  or  1 806.  According  to  Mul- 
lens and  Swann,  a  large-paper  edition,  1802-1805,  to  which  this  apparently 
belongs,  was  issued  in  an  edition  of  twenty-five  copies  only.  The  changes  in 
the  text  are  principally  those  of  wording,  certain  antiquated  terms  being  T&- 
placed  by  more  modern  ones,  but  the  typography  is  entirely  different.  Parts 
I  and  II  form  the  first  volume ;  III  and  IV,  the  second.  As  in  the  original  edition, 
the  work  was  continued  by  "Gleanings  of  Natural  History"  (q.v.).

The  continuation  of  the  posthumous  edition  of  Edwards's  "Natural  History  of 
Birds"  (q.v.)  and  similar  to  it  in  all  respects.  As  in  the  original  edition,  1758-64 
(q.v.),  French  and  English  versions  are  given  in  parallel  columns  and  a  French 
title-page  is  supplied.  Translations  are  by  Du  Plessis  and  Barker  as  in  the 
original  edition.  Plates  232,  278,  298,  316,  317  and  337  are  in  natural  position; 
the  remainder  are  reversed.  Some  plates  in  each  part  are  watermarked  1803 
and  1 805  and  the  latter  date,  consequently,  is  the  earliest  one  possible  for  any 
part.  Part  I  comprises  the  first  volume;  Pts.  II  and  III,  the  second.  The  work 
is  uniform  with  the  reissue  of  the  "Natural  History  of  Birds"  and  probably 
came  out  with  it,  all  parts  together.

The  ornithological  portion  of  Ehrenberg's  report  on  the  collections  made  by  him- 
self and  Hemprich  (who  died  in  the  field)  on  their  expedition  to  northern  Africa 
and  western  Asia  in  1820-25.  Numerous  new  species  are  described,  all  of  which 
must  be  credited  to  Ehrenberg  although  most  of  them  are  initialed  "H.  et  E." 
in  the  text.  The  work  is  often  quoted  as  "Hemprich  &  Ehrenberg,  Symbolae 
Physicae,"  etc.  According  to  the  Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British 
Museum  (Natural  History),  signatures  a  and  b  (4  11.)  and  all  the  plates  were 
issued  in  1828;  the  remaining  signatures  (i  leaf  each)  appeared  in  1833.  These 
later  signatures  are  dated  December  1832,  January  1833  and  February  1833. 

A  review  of  the  types  of  the  new  species  of  birds,  described  herein,  is  given  by 
Dresser  and  Blanford  in  the  Ibis,  1874,  pp.  335-343.  Certain  plates  were  left 
unpublished  by  Ehrenberg,  and  these  were  later  discussed  and  described  by 
various  specialists  in  a  "Symbolae  physicae  seu  icones  adhuc  ineditae,"  etc., 
published  in  1899-1900.  The  ornithology  of  this  supplement  consists  of  a  single 
plate  (PI.  XI)  of  skeletal  features  of  Ciconia  abdimii,  named  but  not  otherwise 
discussed  in  the  text  in  Vol.  (I)  Zoologica,  1899.

A  reprint  of  the  author's  original  work  of  the  same  title  which  was  published  in  6 
parts  in  the  years  1861-63.  The  plates  are  hand-colored  lithographs  from 
drawings  mostly  by  Elliot.  Whether  they  are  from  the  original  stock  or  are 
reprinted,  I  am  uncertain.  The  original  edition  appeared  with  title-page  dated 
1863.  Apparently  there  are  no  important  changes  (if  any)  in  the  text,  although 
the  pagination  is  continuous  throughout  the  volume  instead  of  separate  for 
each  species  as  in  the  original  printing.  Except  for  the  alteration  in  the  date, 
the  title-page  is  unchanged.  A  later  edition,  revised  and  much  enlarged,  was 
issued  in  1893-95  (q-v.).

colored  plates  are  excellent.

A  comprehensive  treatment  of  the  entire  family  of  hornbills.  The  work  was  issued 
in  ten  parts  with  the  subject  matter  distributed  as  follows,  according  to  the 
number  of  the  species  (not  plate)  as  given  in  the  list  of  plates  in  the  volume.

tory matter  appears  to  have  been  issued  in  Part  X;  possibly  the  two  plates 
(and  accompanying  text)  of  generic  characters  were  also  issued  in  that  part. 

The  dates  of  publication  are  slightly  confused.  The  Catalogue  of  the  Library 
of  the  British  Museum  (Natural  History)  cites  1876-82,  but  Pt.  I  is  reviewed  as 
of  1877  in  the  Ibis  for  July  of  that  year  and  is  cited  in  the  Zoological  Record 
for  1877.  The  Catalogue  of  a  Collection  of  Books  on  Ornithology  in  the  Library 
of  Frederic  Gallatin,  Jr.  cites  two  formats  (both  designated  as  "Original 
Edition"),  an  imperial  folio  dated  1876-82  and  an  imperial  4to  dated  1877-82, 
both  with  original  wrappers.  Pts.  II-1V  are  cited  in  the  Zool.  Rec.  for  1877 
and  given  as  of  that  date  in  the  Ibis  for  Oct.  1878.  Pt.  V  is  cited  by  the  Zool. 
Rec.  for  1878  but  is  given  as  of  1877  m  the  Ibis  for  Oct.  1878.  Pt.  VI  is  cited 
by  the  Zool.  Rec.  for  1879  but  dated  1878  in  the  Ibis  for  Jan.  1880.  Pts.  VII 
and  VIII  are  given  as  of  1880  by  the  Zool.  Rec.  and  the  Ibis  for  Jan.  1881. 
Pt.  IX  is  given  as  of  1881  and  X  as  of  1882  in  the  Zool.  Rec.  of  1882  and  the 
Ibis  of  Jan.  1883.  Both  the  Zool.  Rec.  and  the  Ibis  quote  a  "small  folio"  but 
they  may  refer  to  different  formats.

A  general  review  of  the  birds  of  the  world,  comprising  "  a  short  description  of

Prefixed  to  each  group  is  a  brief  summary  of  the  Structure  and  Habits;  a  few 
further  particulars  of  the  same  nature  being  subsequently  added  where  neces- 
sary, with  a  statement  of  the  main  Fossil  forms  as  yet  recorded."  An  enor- 
mous amount  of  information  is  compressed  into  a  small  space  in  this  excellent 
volume.  The  first  impression  was  in  1899.

in  which  the  birds  are  treated  on  pp.  125-139.  Various  new  species  are  des- 
cribed. The  plates  are  not  ornithological.  Further  notes  on  some  of  the  species 
were  given  by  Eversmann  in  his  "Addenda  ad  Celeberrimi  Pallasii  Zoographiam

Facsimile  reprints  of  the  three  facsiculi  of  Eversmann's  "  Addenda,"  published 
originally  at  Kasani  in  1835,  1841  and  1842.  The  originals  are  extremely 
rare  owing  to  a  fire  in  the  publishing  house  which  destroyed  the  stock  on  hand. 
The  preface  of  the  reprint  is  dated  Sept.  1 1,  1875. 

The  papers  contain  descriptions  and  accounts  of  birds  and  other  animals  of 
Orenburg  Province  and  adjacent  portions  of  former  Asiatic  Russia.  The  material 
was  obtained  from  various  sources  including  the  author's  own  collection  made 
on  the  journey  which  he  describes  in  his  "Reise  von  Orenburg  nach  Buchara," 
1823  (q.v.).  Some  of  the  species  are  new.  The  only  relation  which  the  work 
bears  to  Pallas's  "Zoographia  Rosso- Asiatica,"  1811-14,  is  that  it  treats  of 
the  same  region  and  supplies  discussions  which  supplement  those  in  the  earlier 
work.

separately  paged,  titled  and  prefaced  (also,  according  to  Coues,  separately 
issued),  is  listed  in  the  table  of  contents  of  the  first  part;  hence  both  parts  evi-

many  of  the  vignettes  are  not  of  ornithological  interest.

The  greater  part  of  the  book  is  devoted  to  a  popular  account  of  the  birds  of  Great 
Britain,  identified  under  their  vernacular  names  which  are  arranged  alpha- 
betically. A  part  of  Vol.  II  (pp.  720-884)  contains  an  account  of  "Birds  of 
the  Empire"  in  which  characteristic,  interesting  species  from  world- wide 
British  territories  are  briefly  described  and  discussed  under  their  common 
names.  These  are  arranged  geographically  under  Asia,  Africa,  America  and 
Australia.  Vol.  II  closes  with  a  general  chapter  on  the  classification  of  birds. 
The  book  is  profusely  illustrated  with  half-tones  of  which  at  least  one  occurs 
on  every  page.  Many  of  these  are  photographs  of  living  birds;  the  remainder 
are  photographs  of  mounted  specimens  or  reproductions  of  drawings.  The 
work  appears  to  have  been  published  in  parts,  the  first  of  which,  including 
pp.  1-40,  is  reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for  July,  1922.

A  series  of  pleasing  essays  on  nature  in  New  England,  in  which  birds  occupy  a 
large  share  of  the  discussions.  The  author  shows  considerable  familiarity  with 
his  subject  and  writes  in  an  easy,  entertaining  manner.  Coues  lists  12  plates 
in  the  copy  examined  by  him  but  the  present  example  has  only  5,  although  it

Vol.  I  contains  detailed  observations  which  "relate  to  what  may  be  termed  the 
Motive,  the  Sentient,  the  Nutritive,  and  Reproductive  Functions  of  Animals. 
The  various  Organs  of  the  animal  frame  have  been  described,  their  actions  inves- 
tigated, and  the  important  purposes  of  life,  to  which  they  are  subservient,  have 
at  the  same  time  been  pointed  out."  Vol.  II,  Pt.  I,  discusses  distribution, 
migration,  hibernation,  etc.  and  Pt.  II  relates  to  classification.  Under  the 
latter  head,  the  birds  are  treated  in  detail  on  pp.  218-265  with  a  descriptive 
list  of  227  genera  and  the  citation  of  one  or  more  species  under  each.  This 
list  is  the  portion  of  the  work  of  principal  ornithological  interest;  it  contains 
new  generic  names.  Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia,  7,  p.  451,  cites  a  review  in

A  popular  work  on  the  birds  of  central  Europe,  illustrated  by  colored  plates  of 
the  species.  The  author  has  discarded  the  rule  of  priority  wherever  it  excites 
his  abhorrence  of  tautonymous  names,  either  binomial  or  trinomial,  and  as  a 
result  he  has  accepted  synonyms  or  supplied  new  names  for  species  and  subspe- 
cies in  a  great  number  of  cases.  Among  the  noticeable  innovations  is  the  inclu- 
sion of  Cisticola,  Troglodytes  and  Cinclus  in  the  Timeliidae.  The  first  edition 
of  this  work  was  published  in  1907  or  1908.

Miscellaneous  accounts  of  a  number  of  birds  from  Hudson's  Bay,  followed  by 
detailed  descriptions  of  eight  supposed  new  species.  The  paper  is  entitled, 
"An  Account  of  the  Birds  sent  from  Hudson's  Bay;  with  Observations  relative 
to  their  Natural  History;  and  Latin  Descriptions  of  some  of  the  most  uncom-

The  first  edition  of  this  work  was  issued  in  1808  under  the  title  of  "Observations 
on  the  Brumal  Retreat  of  the  Swallow,"  etc.  There  are  two  sixth  editions  of 
1817,  differing,  it  is  said,  in  the  titles,  that  of  the  other  edition  reading  "the 
swallow  tribe"  instead  of  "swallows"  (1.  5)  and  with  the  "sixth  edition  enlarged" 
omitted.  The  "Catalogvs  avium  |  in  |  insulis  Britannicis  habitantivm.  | 
Cvra  et  stvdio  |  Edvardi  Forsteri,  Ivnioris."  occupies  pages  65-97  and  is  the 
same  as  issued  separately  by  Edward  Forster  under  his  own  name  in  the  same 
year.  The  "Extract  of  a  Journal  of  Natural  History,  -  -  during  several 
Years,  at  Clapton,  near  London"  on  pages  55-63,  is  also  ascribed  to  the  author- 
ship of  Edward  Forster  by  Mullens  and  Swann.

A  series  of  seventy  colored  plates  illustrating  new  and  rare  mammals  and  birds 
not  before  figured  (a  large  proportion  of  which  had  been  described  by  the 
author),  with  a  page  of  notes  accompanying  each  plate.  The  work  was  issued 
in  an  edition  of  250  copies,  and  was  originally  planned  as  a  more  extended 
publication.  Of  the  plates,  42  relate  to  birds,  figuring  46  species. 

The  dates  are  little  known.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p. 
LVI,  1922)  notes  that  "Ten  parts  had  appeared  by  the  end  of  1846;  2  parts  of 
Birds  are  recorded  as  1847  in  Arch.  f.  Nat.  1848  (2),  3;  and  the  whole  was 
finished  by  1848  (ibid.  1849)  (2),  i."  Carus  and  Engelmann  cite  20  parts 
and  100  plates  under  dates  of  1848-49.

The  plates  of  the  present  work  are  the  same  as  those  of  the  author's  "Natur-

a  second  volume  of  text.  There  was  also  issued  an  edition  in  the  Czech  lan- 
guage which  was  not  completed  so  far  as  I  can  learn.  The  spelling  of  the  Eng- 
lish names  in  the.  present  edition  leaves  room  for  doubt  that  this  was  actually 
published  in  London.  It  may  be  a  reissue  of  certain  pages  of  the  original 
edition  with  an  English  title  page.  The  text  of  this  issue  consists  of  a  list  of 
species  with  references  to  the  plates  and  to  several  published  works  of  Johns, 
Bree,  and  Degland  and  Gerbe,  and  with  the  names  in  Latin,  German,  English 
and  French.

A  later  edition  of  the  author's  "Vorstellung  der  Vogel  Deutschlands,"  originally 
published  in  1733-63  in  14  parts  and  a  supplement.  Johann  Leonhard  Frisch, 
according  to  a  prefatory  note,  died  at  the  completion  of  the  fourth  part  of  his 
work,  from  which  point  it  was  taken  up  by  his  son,  Jodocus  Leopold  Frisch. 
The  supplement,  including  Latin  and  vernacular  indices  to  the  plates,  was 
written  by  Baron  von  Zorn,  Most  of  the  plates  were  prepared  by  a  third  son, 
Ferdinand  Helfreich  Frisch  who  died  after  twenty-two  years  of  work  upon 
them,  and  the  remainder,  after  various  difficulties,  were  completed  by  his  son, 
Johann  Christoph  Frisch.  The  text  is  not  voluminous. 

According  to  Schalow  (Beitrage  zur  Vogelfauna  der  Mark  Brandenburg, 
pp.  63-64,  1919),  the  present  issue  was  produced  by  the  Nicolaischen  Verlags- 
buchhandlung  (legal  successors  of  Birnstiel,  publisher  of  the  original  edition) 
from  a  stock  of  old  plates  supplied  with  new  title-pages.  Schalow  says  that 
he  knows  of  no  copy  of  the  reprint  with  text  or  with  the  full  set  of  255  plates, 
but  the  copy  at  hand  seems  to  be  complete  in  every  detail.  The  full  number 
of  plates,  all  colored,  are  in  the  atlas,  accompanied  by  the  general  title-page 
(transcribed  above)  which  is  new.  The  reprinted  title-pages  for  the  various 
parts  of  the  atlas  are  bound  with  the  text  in  a  separate  volume.  These  titles 
are  thirteen  in  number  instead  of  fourteen  as  in  the  original,  owing  to  certain 
changes.  The  original  Pts.  1-3,  embracing  Class  I  of  the  author's  divisions, 
were  issued  separately  with  three  distinct  title-pages;  in  the  present  reprint 
there  is  only  one  inclusive  title-page  for  all  three  parts,  to  which  is  added  the 
(presumably)  original  leaf  of  preface.  Also,  there  is  a  title-page  for  the  sup- 
plementary plates,  similar  to  the  general  title-page  of  the  work  but  differing 
as  transcribed  (in  brackets)  above;  no  such  title-page  occurred  in  the  original, 
according  to  Schalow's  collation  (I.e.,  pp.  51-61). 

The  text  is  of  composite  construction.  That  of  Classes  I  and  II  (issued  in 
Its.  3  and  4  of  the  original)  is  new  and  is  supplied  with  new  subtitle-pages, 
dated  1817.  The  subject  matter  in  this  may  be  revised  since  that  of  each 
Class  occupies  (including  the  respective  subtitle-pages)  13  pages  instead  of 


234  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

ii  of  the  original  as  collated  by  Schalow.  The  letterpress  and  subtitles  of 
Classes  III-XII  (Pts.  4-14  of  the  original  edition)  and  the  text  of  the  supple- 
ment (without  title  here  or  in  the  original)  appear  to  belong  to  the  first  edition 
intact.  There  are  minor  differences  between  the  subtitles  and  the  transcrip- 
tions of  the  originals  as  presented  by  Schalow,  but  they  are  such  as  might  be 
due  to  printer's  errors  in  the  copy.  The  number  of  pages  is  unaltered  and  the 
paper  is  unquestionably  old  and  different  from  that  used  in  the  undoubtedly 
reprinted  portions  of  the  work. 

It  seems  probable,  therefore,  that  in  making  up  the  new  edition  of  this  work, 
the  publishers  may  have  utilized  a  stock  of  old  plates  and  most  of  the  letter- 
press but  reprinted  such  portions  as  were  needed  to  make  complete  copies  of 
the  stock  on  hand. 

Schalow  (I.e.)  has  given  voluminous  notes  regarding  the  details  of  compo- 
sition and  publication  of  the  original  work.  A  review  of  the  species  was  given 
by  Johann  Leonhard  Frisch  in  Suppl.  I  of  Vol.  Ill  of  J.  M.  Bechstein's  "Ge- 
meinnutzige  Naturgeschichte  Deutschlands,"  1789-95  (q.v.).

2  vols.,  demy  8vo  and  demy  folio.   Text,  pp.  1-496.   Atlas,  cover-tit., 
25  pll.  (21  col.;  by  Werner,  A.  Prevost,  P.  Oudart  and  Cl.  Gay; 
14  ornith.,  13  col.).    Paris. 

The  complete  work  of  the  above  title  comprises  23  volumes  of  text  and  2  volumes 
of  plates.  Of  the  text,  8  volumes  relate  to  zoology,  the  first  of  which  (collated 
above)  contains  the  mammals  and  birds.  The  ornithology  occupies  pp.  1 83-496 
and  was  written  by  Des  Murs  (according  to  statements  on  pp.  n  and  183) 
while  Gay  contributed  only  field  notes.  In  spite  of  this  fact,  several  of  the 
new  names  on  the  plates  are  followed  by  Gay's  name.  Vol.  8  of  the  zoological 
series,  treating  of  Mollusks  and  Zoophytes  and  published  in  1854,  contains 
some  ornithological  matter  as  follows.  P.  474  contains  descriptions  of  Fulica 
chilensis  (new)  and  Rhynchops  nigra;  p.  477,  errata  and  corrigenda;  p.  478,  an 
index  to  the  plates  of  birds  (and  mammals);  pp.  479-486,  a  concordance  of 
common  and  scientific  names,  including  those  of  birds;  pp.  487-499,  a  general 
index  to  the  orders,  families  and  genera  of  the  entire  work.  (A  typewritten 
copy  of  the  ornithological  portions  of  pp.  474  and  477  has  been  inserted  in  the 
present  volume.) 

Authorities  appear  to  agree  as  to  the  date  of  publication  of  the  volume  of 
text  in  the  present  copy.  The  date  of  the  plates  is  open  to  question.  All 
the  zoological  plates  occur,  in  the  complete  work,  in  Vol.  II  of  the  atlas,  but 
they  were  issued  at  widely  different  times.  Those  in  the  present  set  (com- 
prising all  of  the  mammals  and  birds)  are  accompanied  by  an  original  wrapper 
dated  1848.  This  wrapper  is  lettered  very  like  the  title-page  of  text  and  is 


238  FIELD  MUSEUM  OF  NATURAL  HISTORY — ZOOLOGY,  VOL.  XVI. 

transcribed  above  in  lieu  of  the  title-page  of  Vol.  II  of  the  atlas.  There  is 
nothing  to  show,  however,  that  it  appeared  with  any  of  the  plates  which  are 
now  associated  with  it;  its  printed  date  agrees  with  the  date  of  publication  of 
Vol.  II  of  the  zoological  text  which  had  nothing  to  do  with  birds  or  mammals. 

Des  Murs,  in  his  "Iconographie  Ornithologique,"  1845-49  (q.v.),  gives  very 
good  evidence  that  some  of  the  plates  preceded  the  text.  In  Livr.  i,  in  the 
discussion  of  the  genus  Merganetta  (pp.  2  and  3  of  the  unpaged  text  relating 
to  that  genus),  he  says,  "Des  la  meme  anne"e  ( =  1844),  M.  Gay  .  .  .  1'a  e"gale- 
ment  fait  figurer  dans  1'Atlas  de  son  immense  Ouvrage  sur  le  Chili.  .  .  et  lui 
a  donnS  le  nom  de  Raphipterus."  In  Livr.  8  of  the  "Iconographie,"  in  the  dis- 
cussion of  the  genus  Sylviorthorhynchus  (in  the  last  paragraph),  he  says,  "Nous 
avons  e"tabli  ce  Genre  particulier  .  .sur  une  jolie  Espece  qu'a  ddcouverte  M. 
Gay,  et  que  ce  savant  Voyageur  nous  avoit  confine  pour  en  joindre  la  descrip- 
tion a  la  figure  qu'il  en  a  publie'e  dans  son  Grand  Ouvrage  sur  le  Chili."  In 
the  text  to  pll.  5  and  45,  Raphypterus  chilensis  Gay  and  Sylviorthorhynchus 
desmurii  are  quoted  from  Gay's  "Historia  fisica  y  politica  de  Chile,"  1844. 

Fulica  chilensis,  described  by  Des  Murs  in  Vol.  VIII,  1854,  is  mentioned  by 
Bonaparte  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus"  for  Dec.  19,  1853,  p.  925.  Hartlaub  also 
cites  it  in  the  Journal  fur  Ornithologie,  I,  Extra-Heft,  1853,  publ.  1854.  Bona- 
parte quotes  Gay  as  the  authority  for  the  name  without  giving  the  reference; 
Hartlaub  quotes  the  "Historia  fisica"  and  says  that  Des  Murs  is  about  to  pub- 
lish, or  has  published,  a  figure  of  the  species  in  that  work,  but  that  he  has  not 
seen  a  copy  of  it.  Neither  citation  thus  supplies  any  definite  information  as 
to  whether  the  name  had  been  published  on  a  plate  or  in  the  text  at  the  time 
of  writing. 

An  uncolored  plate  of  osteological  details  is  headed,  "Ornitologia"  (without 
number).  The  first  two  colored  plates  of  birds  are  marked,  "Ornitologia 
No.  i"  and  "  Ornitologia  No.  2."  The  plate  of  Raphipterus  chilensis  is  lettered, 
"Zoologia  No."  (blank)  and  all  the  remaining  plates  of  birds  are  labeled,  "Or- 
nitologia No."  (blank).  Dr.  Richmond,  who  has  supplied  me  with  various 
references  on  this  work,  remarks  (in  litt.)  that  the  earliest  plates  to  be  pub- 
lished appear  to  be  those  marked,  "Zoologia  No."

A  popular  account  of  the  birds  of  eastern  Pennsylvania,  chiefly  valuable  for  its 
notes  on  the  food-habits  of  the  various  species,  based  on  analyses  of  stomach- 
contents.  Originally  projected  as  a  work  to  be  complete  in  two  volumes,  it 
was  later  found  to  exceed  the  proposed  limits  and  the  subject  matter  beginning 
with  the  wading-birds  was  reserved  for  a  third  volume  which  was  never 
published.  The  present  copy  is  from  the  library  of  Elliott  Coues  to  whom  it 
was  presented  by  the  author.  A  manuscript  letter  from  the  author  to  Dr.  Coues

An  author's  (advance?)  copy  of  the  ornithological  and  mammalogical  portion 
of  Jacquemont's  "Voyage  dans  1'Inde."  In  the  complete  work,  the  text  is 
found  in  Vol.  IV  and  the  plates  in  Atlas,  Vol.  II,  both  under  date  of  1844  al- 
though the  letterpress  for  the  mammals  and  birds  appears  to  have  been  pub- 
lished in  1843.  Geoffroy  presented  a  copy  of  this  section  of  the  work  to  the 
Academic  Royale  des  Sciences  de  Paris  on  May  8,  1843  (recorded  in  the  Revue 
Zoologique,  1843,  p.  151),  but  it  is  impossible  to  say  whether  it  was  an  author's 
separate  (as  collated  above)  or  the  regular  number  of  the  "Voyage."  The 
copy  at  hand  is  enclosed  in  an  original  wrapper  of  the  "Voyage"  on  which  the 
livraison-number  is  not  marked,  but  which  is  dated  I8431.  It  is  probable, 
therefore,  that  the  date  1842-1843  on  the  title-page  is  misleading.  This  title- 
page  is  not  found  in  the  complete  work,  being  replaced  by  one  lettered  simply, 
"Description  |  des  |  collections.  |  Zoologie.  |  IV.  I"2.  The  ornithology  oc- 
cupies pp.  81-89  and  pll.  7-8.  One  new  species  of  bird,  Ardea  brag,  is  de-

ing). Florence. 

A  series  of  execrable  drawings,  hand-colored,  of  various  birds  from  various  coun- 
tries. Above  each  of  them  is  inscribed  a  vernacular  Italian  name  with  a  Latin 
equivalent,  sometimes  binary,  sometimes  not.  Below,  each  plate  bears  a 
dedication  to  some  personage  or  other.  There  is  no  title-page  and  the  back  of 
the  cover  is  inscribed  simply  "Volatili."  The  above  title  is  taken  from  the 
"Atlante  Ornitologico"  of  Arrigoni  degli  Oddi,  1902  (q.v.),  pp.  122-123,  1902. 
Gerini's  names  have  not  been  accepted,  except  occasionally  as  with  Falco 
merillus  (Pll.  XVIII  and  XIX)  cited  by  Sharpe  (Hand  List  i,  p.  275,  No.  34, 
1899)  and  Madarasz  (Magyarorszag  Madarai,  Pt.  VI,  p.  234,  1901).  Accord- 
to  Paolo  Savi  (Ornithologica  Toscana,  I,  pp.  V-VI,  1827-31),  Gerini,  having 
died  in  1751,  is  not  responsible  for  any  of  the  above  work  other  than  for  the 
assembling  of  the  collection  of  birds  which  forms  the  basis  of  the  drawings; 
the  publication  is  ascribed  to  certain  unnamed  individuals  without  a  knowledge 
of  ornithology. 

Buff  on  (Histoire  Naturelle  des  Oiseaux,  i,  p.  VJ,  footn.,  1770)  mentions  this 
work  as  being  noticeable  for  the  inferiority  of  its  plates  and  the  unscientific 
nature  of  its  nomenclature,  which,  he  says,  renders  the  natural  history  of  birds 
more  confused  rather  than  simplified.

the  second  to  a  "nomenclator  ornithologicus"  (Vol.  I,  pp.  253-868;  Vol.  II  and 
III,  complete).  The  bibliography  is  arranged  in  a  very  heterogeneous  manner 
and  is  almost  useless,  while  the  "nomenclator"  is  not  entirely  reliable.

A  second  edition  of  Pt.  I  of  the  author's  "Primo  Resoconto,"  etc.,  1889  (q.v.). 
No  descriptions  are  given  and  the  text  consists  almost  entirely  of  lists  of  ver- 
nacular names  of  the  species  and  accounts  of  the  distribution  of  each.  No  sub- 
species are  recognized.  Dultz  &  Co.,  Munich,  in  their  "Antiquariats-Katalog 
19,"  1916,  announce  their  purchase  of  the  full  stock  of  this  book  which  they 
quote  under  publication  date  of  191 1,  but  the  work  was  reviewed  in  the  Journal 
fur  Ornithologie  in  January  1908  and  in  the  Auk  in  April  of  the  same  year, 
and,  no  doubt,  was  actually  published  in  1907  as  given  on  the  title-page.

An  incomplete  work  on  the  birds  of  Europe,  especially  of  Germany.  Although 
the  present  volume  is  noted  as  "Erster  Theil,' '  it  is  the  only  portion  of  the  work 
published  and  treats  of  the  land  birds.  Some  new  names  are  used  in  the  nomen- 
clature, but  these  are  largely  emendations,  so  far  as  species  are  concerned. 
The  work  marks  an  important  advance  in  other  particulars  of  classification, 
and  Gloger  herein  is  the  first  ornithologist  to  divide  his  Passerine  group  into 
two  suborders  based  on  the  presence  or  absence  of  song-muscles1.  The  volume, 
according  to  Engelmann,  appeared  in  6  sections  but  the  single  date  is  quoted 
for  all.  The  preface  is  dated  November  15,  1834.

Ver-  |  haltnisse  zu  seinem  wirklichen  Zwecke.   |  Breslau,  1842.  | 
Verlag  von  Aug.  Schulz  &  Comp. 
i  vol.  8vo,  pp.  I-XXXXIV,  1-495+ 1.   Breslau. 

Intended  as  the  first  volume  of  a  general  work  on  natural  history,  but  actually 
all  that  was  published.  It  treats  only  of  mammals  and  birds,  the  latter  on 
pp.  175-476  and  477.  New  generic  names,  many  of  them  valid,  are  used.  The 
index  purports  to  show  the  new  names  used  in  the  work  by  showing  them 
printed  in  italics,  but  not  all  of  the  names  so  printed  are  new  and  there  are 
many  omissions. 

The  work  seems  to  have  appeared  in  7  parts.  Engelmann  cites  7  parts  and 
there  are  7  original  wrappers  bound  in  at  the  close  of  the  volume  at  hand, 
the  last  one  being  marked  "Heft.  7  (schluss),"  the  figure  and  last  word  being 
hand-written.  Some  of  these  wrappers  are  stained  and  the  mark  has  been 
transferred  to  the  pages  which,  apparently,  were  originally  enclosed  therein; 
one  wrapper  is  shorter  than  the  pages  of  text  and  the  first  and  last  pages  of 
its  original  contents  show  a  correspondingly  broad  grimy  margin;  and  at  6 
places  in  the  book  the  butts  of  the  leaves  show  traces  of  the  original  green 
wrappers  adhering  to  the  sheets.  From  this  evidence  it  seems  fairly  certain 
that  Heft  i  contained  pp.  1-80;  2,  pp.  81-160;  3,  pp.  161-240;  4,  pp.  241-320; 
5.  PP-  321-400;  6,  pp.  401-448;  7,  pp.  449-496  +  1  and  I-XXXXIV.  Pp.  477- 
480  are  alone  in  doubt.  They  comprise  the  last  page  of  text  and  the  first 
pages  of  the  index  and  consist  of  a  single  folded  sheet  which  is  not  part  of 
signature  30  (pp.  465-476)  nor  of  signature  32  (pp.  481-496  +  1).  Two  leaves 
are  missing  from  signature  30  (whose  final  3  pp.  may  have  been  blank),  and 
p.  477  has  a  note  printed  at  the  foot  cancelling  a  (former?)  p.  477*,  so  it  is 
apparent  that  an  original  p.  477  has  been  suppressed  and  replaced  by  that  one 
which  contains  the  first  page  of  the  index  on  its  reverse.  There  is  no  evidence, 
however,  to  show  that  this  reissue  was  not  published  in  Heft  7.  The  original 
wrappers  for  Pts.  1-5  are  undated;  those  of  6  and  7  are  dated  1842.  These 
figures  agree  with  those  of  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  LX, 
1922)  who,  from  other  sources,  cites  pp.  1-400  as  of  1841  and  401-496  and  I- 
XXXXIV  as  of  1842.  Thomas  (Ann.  and  Mag.  Nat.  Hist,  (6),  15,  p.  189, 
1895)  quotes  a  reference  to  pp.  1-160  dated  May,  1841,  which  gives  an  ap- 
proximate date  for  the  first  two  parts  of  this  rare  work.

Published  in  five  parts  which  are  reviewed  in  the  Zoological  Record  and  current 
numbers  of  the  Auk  and  the  Ibis.  The  accounts  in  the  Zoological  Record  and 
the  Auk  do  not  agree  as  to  the  pagination  and  plate-numbers  included  in  the 
various  parts;  that  in  the  Auk  appears  to  be  more  probably  incorrect  since  it 
is  not  consistent  in  itself.  The  following  arrangement  seems  to  be  correct.

According  to  the  reviewer  in  the  Auk,  27,  pp.  350-351,  July  1910,  Salvin 
originated  the  idea  of  publishing  the  present  work  and  had  some  of  the  plates 
prepared  at  the  time  of  his  death.  Godman  took  over  the  project  and,  with 
the  acknowledged  assistance  of  R.  B.  Sharpe,  published  the  work  as  it  exists. 
Pp.  XIV-XX  contain  an  essay  by  Pycraft  "On  the  Systematic  Position  of  the 
Petrels." 

The  present  copy  is  No.  122  of  the  edition,  which  was  limited  to  225  copies.

reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for  1901,  p.  501,  as  of  date  1900.  The  book  contains  a 
running  account  of  the  distribution  and  occurrence  of  the  birds  of  Brazil, 
without  descriptions.  In  the  years  1900-1906,  there  was  published,  as  an 
illustrative  supplement  to  this  work,  the  "Album  de  Aves  Amazonicas"  (q.v.). 
A  preliminary  half-title  of  the  present  work  reads,  "Monographias  Brasileiras

An  account  of  the  habits  of  the  birds  of  Jamaica,  a  large  proportion  of  which 

appears  to  have  been  compiled  from  the  notes  of  Richard  Hill.     A  number 

of  new  species  are  described  by  the  author.     A  volume  of  52  colored  plates 

was  published  in  1849  by  the  same  author  under  the  title  of  "Illustrations  of 

the  Birds  of  Jamaica,"  (q.v.).

A  series  of  colored  plates  intended  to  illustrate  the  author's  "Birds  of  Jamaica," 
1847  (q.v.),  to  which  page-references  are  given  on  the  plates.  The  original

plan  was  to  give  a  figure  of  each  species  described  in  the  earlier  work,  but  this 
was  modified  "by  omitting  such  species  as  had  been  well  figured  before,  in 
works  easily  available  to  the  British  public."  Two  species  are  figured  (on  pi. 
XXII  and  XLV)  which  are  not  mentioned  in  the  text.  The  present  volume 
has  inscribed  on  the  fly  leaf,  "The  late  W.  Yarrell's  copy,"  and  bears,  also,  the 
bookplate  of  Henry  Wemyss  Feilden.

1831-32.  A  |  century  of  birds  |  from  |  the  Himalaya  Mountains.  | 
By  |  John  Gould,  A.L.S.  |  London:  |  1832. 

i  vol.  imperial  folio,  6  pr.  11.,  72 11.,  80  pll.  (col. ;  by  E.  Gould).  London. 

This  work  appeared  in  two  forms,  one  with  the  backgrounds  of  the  plates  uncol- 
ored,  the  other  with  them  colored.  The  present  copy  belongs  to  the  latter  series. 
Although  no  actual  dates  of  publication  appear  to  be  available,  a  remark  by 
Vigors  in  an  early  number  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  Committee  of  Science  and 
Correspondence  of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London,  Vol.  I.  pp.  170  and  176, 
(meeting  for  Dec.  27,  1831)  indicates  that  the  work  was  being,  or  had  been, 
issued  in  regular  monthly  parts.  This  would  tend  to  show  that  publication  was 
commenced  in  1831  or  earlier.  Some  of  the  plates  were  exhibited  to  the  Society 
at  a  meeting  held  on  Nov.  23,  1830;  see  Proceedings,  Vol.  I,  p.  6.  The  plates 
were  executed  by  Mrs.  (E.)  Gould  from  Gould's  sketches  and  the  scientific 
descriptions,  with  most,  if  not  all,  of  the  remaining  letterpress,  were  written 
by  Vigors  to  whom  Gould  makes  acknowledgment  in  the  "Advertisement"  on 
a  preliminary  leaf.  Whether  or  not  the  nomenclature  of  the  various  species 
should  be  quoted  from  this  folio  or  from  the  Proc.  Comm.  Sci.  Corr.  Zool. 
Soc.  Lond.,  Vol.  I,  in  which  the  descriptions  were  published  somewhat  con- 
temporaneously, depends  on  the  actual  dates  of  publication  of  the  two  works, 
but  the  authorship,  in  any  case,  is  that  of  Vigors,  not  of  Gould.  The  descrip- 
tions in  the  "Proceedings"  were  issued  as  follows,  quoting  the  pagination  of 
Vol.  I.  Pp.  7-9,  Jan.  6,  1831;  22-23,  Febr.  i,  1831;  35,  March  2,  1831;  41-44, 
April  6,  1831;  54-55,  May  6,  1831;  170-176,  March  2,  1832.  The  80  hand- 
colored  plates  contain  102  figures  of  birds,  of  which  2  represent  species  (and 
sexes)  figured  twice;  the  remaining  100  figures  form  the  basis  for  the  title  of 
"Century."  This  was  the  first  of  Gould's  famous  folios.

Issued  in  22  parts,  the  first  of  which  appeared  June  i,  1832.  The  remainder  were 
planned  to  appear  on  the  first  of  each  third  month  thereafter.  The  preface  was 
written  on  August  i,  1837,  which  would  have  been  in  time  for  the  issuance  of 
Pt.  XXII  on  September  i  in  accordance  with  the  program,  but  whether  the 
program  was  followed  throughout  I  am  unable  to  determine.  The  plates  in  the 
bound  volumes  are  in  accordance  with  a  "General  List  of  Plates,"  widely 
differing  from  the  order  of  publication.  As  to  the  plates  in  each  number,  I  am 
able  to  allocate  but  a  few.  Pt.  I  apparently  contained,  among  others,  plates  23, 
27,  61,  216,  233,  260  and  379;  Pts.  II  and  HI  included  pll.  19,  53,  59,97,  120,

Pt.  XI  included  pi.  297.  The  plates,  drawn  by  Gould  and  E.  Lear,  were  hand- 
colored  by  Mrs.  Gould.

Published  in  three  parts.  Through  the  kindness  of  Dr.  C.  E.  Hellmayr  and  of 
Dr.  A.  Laubmann  of  the  Bavarian  State  Museum  at  Munich,  I  am  enabled 
to  transcribe  the  titles  and  give  the  contents  of  the  several  parts,  from  a  copy 
in  the  library  of  the  Munich  Museum.  They  are  as  follows. , 

Pt.  I  contained  text  and  plates  of  Pteroglossus  bitorquatus,  Ramphastos  cari- 
natus,  Pier,  ulocomus,  R..  culminatus,  Pter.  maculirostris,  Pter.  hypoglaucus, 
R.  discolorus,  Pter.  prasinus,  Pter.  regalis,  R.  swainsonii,  Pter.  sulcatus,  and 
Pter.  bailloni.  Pt.  n  contained  the  title-page  (dated  1834),  the  preface,  in- 
troduction, etc.,  descriptions  of  the  generic  characters  of  the  genera  Ramphastos 
and  Pteroglossus  and  the  text  and  plates  of  Pter.  azarae,  Pter.  inscriptus,  R.

culminatus,  and  Owen's  paper  and  plate  of  "Observations  on  the  Anatomy  of 
the  Toucan."  An  insert-slip  is  attached  to  the  cover,  entitled  "To  the  binder," 
giving  the  sequence  to  be  followed  in  arranging  the  letterpress  and  plates,  and 
closing  with  the  statement,  "The  description  of  Ramphastos  culminatus,  given

in  Part  I,  to  be  cancelled,  and  the  one  in  Part  II  inserted  in  its  stead."  Pt.

slip  in  this  part  addressed  "To  the  binder,"  giving  a  new  order  of  arrangement 
for  the  contents  of  the  work  at  the  close  of  which  is  placed  Owen's  contribu- 
tion; then  follows  the  same  note  as  in  Pt.  II  regarding  the  cancellation  of  the 
original  text  of  R.  culminatus  and  the  statement,  "The  Synopsis  Specierum 
given  in  Part  II  to  be  cancelled,  and  the  one  in  Part  III  inserted  in  its  stead. 
N.B.  The  directions  to  the  Binder  in  Part  II  to  be  disregarded."  The  present 
copy  lacks  the  original  text  of  Ramphastos  culminatus. 

In  the  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1834,  P-  79»  i*1  a  paper  read  July  8,  1834, 
(publ.  Nov.  25,  1834)  there  is  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  Gould's  monograph 
of  the  Ramphastidae  "  is  just  completed";  this  statement  presumably  refers 
to  the  completion  of  the  two  parts  mentioned  on  the  original  wrappers  of  Pts. 
I  and  II  and  fixes  the  approximate  date  for  Pt.  II. 

In  1852-54,  Gould  issued  a  new  edition  of  the  work  (q.v.)  under  the  same 
title  as  the  present,  and  in  1855  published  his  "Supplement  to  the  First  Edi- 
tion" (q.v.),  giving  the  text  and  plates  of  the  species  included  in  the  revised, 
but  not  the  original,  edition.

Natural  History  and  Classification  of  Birds"  in  "The  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia" 
of  Dionysius  Lardner  (q.v.),  and  therefore  must  date  1836  or  earlier.  I  do 
not  know  what  species  were  included  in  this  part.  In  Vol.  II  (pp.  337  and  338), 
Swainson  cites  Trogon  elegans,  T.  ambiguus,  T.  melanocephala,  Harpactes  mala-

that  these  species  were  undoubtedly  included  in  Part  I  or  in  Parts  I  and  II 
if  both  were  in  print  before  July,  1837.  A  second  edition,  quite  different  from 
the  first,  was  published  in  1858-75  under  the  same  title  (q.v.).

After  the  commencement  of  the  present  book,  Gould  found  himself  so  handi- 
capped by  lack  of  specimens  that  he  cancelled  the  work  and  set  out  for  Austra- 
lia to  procure  more  and  better  material.  After  his  return  he  began  the  publi- 
cation of  "The  Birds  of  Australia"  (q.v.,  1840-48).  Of  the  plates  in  the  present 
work,  Nos.  6,  7,  9  and  10  of  Pt.  I,  and  3,  4,  8,  9  and  10  of  Pt.  II  were  reprinted 
in  the  later  work  with  occasional  minor  alterations  in  colors;  the  remainder 
were  redrawn.  This  unfinished  folio  is  said  to  be  the  rarest  of  Gould's  works.

several  new  genera  and  36  new  species  which  were  read  before  the  London 
Zoological  Society  in  December,  1837  but  not  published  by  that  body  until 
December  5,  1838  (P.  Z.  S.  Lond.  1837,  pp.  138-157),  after  the  appearance  of 
the  present  volume.

This  work  was  interrupted  by  Gould's  departure  for  Australia  in  search  of  material 
for  his  work  on  the  birds  of  that  region,  and  was  never  resumed.  Certain  of 
the  species  were  described  in  papers  read  in  advance  before  the  Zoological 
Society  of  London,  but  in  most  cases  these  descriptions  were  never  published 
in  the  "Proceedings"  of  that  body.  Four  species  in  Pt.  I  (Nos.  2,  3,  4  and  5 
of  the  subjoined  list ),  ascribed  to  "Proc.  of  Zool.  Soc.  Part.  V.,  1837",  without 
pagination,  were  not  so  published  and  must  date  from  the  present  work;  two 
species  (Nos.  7  and  9)  were  published  but  are  antedated  by  the  folio.  In  Pt. 
II,  five  species  (Nos.  2,  3,  4,  6  and  8),  ascribed  to  "Proc.  of  Zool.  Soc.  Part  VI 
1838,"  without  pagination,  did  not  appear  except  in  the  present  book.

This  sumptuous  work  was  issued  in  36  parts,  of  which  Pt.  I  appeared  in  1840, 
Pts.  II-V  in  1841,  VI-IX  in  1842,  X-Xin  in  1843,  XIV-XVII  in  1844,  XVni- 
XXI  in  1845,  XXH-XXV  in  1846,  XXVI-XXIX  in  1847  and  XXX-XXXVI  in  1848. 
According  to  Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia,  Suppl.  4,  p.  48,  1925,  the  first  part 
was  dated  December  i,  1840,  and  Pts.  II-XXXII  appeared  regularly  on  March 
i,  June  i,  September  i  and  December  i  thereafter,  except  that  Pts.  XXXIII- 
XXXVI  were  all  dated  and(appeared  on)  December  i,  1848.  The  final  arrange- 
ment in  the  completed  volumes  is  irrespective  of  the  sequence  of  issue.  The 
actual  year  of  publication  of  each  plate  may  be  ascertained  from  P.  H.  Water- 
house's  "The  Dates  of  Publication  of  Some  of  the  Zoological  Works  of  the 
late  John  Gould,"  1885  (q.v.). 

Owing  to  delay  in  the  publication  of  the  various  sheets  of  the  Proceedings 
of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London,  to  which  Gould  submitted  the  descriptions 
of  his  new  species  for  early  publication,  many  of  the  new  names  must  date 
from  the  present  work. 

This  work  forms  a  thorough  treatise  on  the  birds  of  the  Australian  region  (in- 
cluding an  occasional  species  from  outlying  territory)  with  600  hand-colored 
plates  executed  from  drawings  by  the  author  and  Mrs.  (E.)  Gould.  Three 
years  after  the  completion  of  this  work  the  author  commenced  a  supplement 
(q.v.)  which  was  completed  in  1869.  On  August  i,  1848,  the  introductory 
matter  of  the  present  work  (pp.  V-CII  and  1-13)  was  issued  under  the  title  of 
"Introduction  to  the  Birds  of  Australia"  (q.v.),  preceding  the  folio  containing 
the  same  material  by  four  months.  In  1865  the  text  of  the  entire  work,  in- 
cluding the  supplement  and  even  further  enlarged  to  bring  the  subject  matter 
to  date,  was  issued  without  plates  as  a  "Handbook  to  the  Birds  of  Australia"

(q.v.).  Prior  to  the  present  folio,  the  author  issued  his  ''A  Synopsis  of  the  Birds 
of  Australia,"  1837-38  (q.v.),  and  two  parts  of  a  folio  entitled  "The  Birds  of 
Australia  and  the  Adjacent  Islands,"  1837-38  (q.v.).  The  latter  work  was 
cancelled,  due  to  the  insufficiency  of  specimens  for  study,  and  the  author  pro- 
ceeded to  Australia  for  the  collection  of  more  ample  material,  incorporating 
the  results  of  his  investigations  in  the  present  issue  of  the  work.

Issued  in  four  parts,  with  dates  as  given  above.  Pts.  I-III  contained  10  plates 
and  10  leaves  of  text,  each;  Pt.  IV  contained  6  colored  plates  and  the  accom- 
panying text,  and  a  translation  of  Owen's  article  on  the  anatomy  of  the  toucan 
with  its  plate,  to  which  is  added  a  second  plate  and  further  remarks  by  Rudolf 
Wagner.  The  principal  part  of  the  general  text  is  based  on  Gould's  Mono- 
graph of  the  Ramphastidae,"  1833-35  (q-v.).  of  which  it  is,  in  places,  a  literal 
translation;  but  considerable  of  the  matter  is  rewritten  or  revised  and  there 
are  additional  species  described  herein  for  the  first  time.  The  plates  are  some- 
times redrawn  and  reduced  from  Gould,  but  frequently  altered  or  designed 
afresh,  while  the  illustrations  of  the  new  species  are  entirely  new.  There  is 
no  title-page,  since  the  work  was  never  carried  to  completion,  and  the  title  as 
quoted  above,  is  taken  from  the  wrapper  of  Pt.  IV,  bound  with  the  present 
copy,  and  from  facsimiles  of  the  wrappers  of  Pts.  I,  II  and  III,  obtained  from 
copies  in  the  Zoological  Museum  at  Munich. 

The  contents  of  the  four  parts,  as  indicated  on  the  wrappers,  is  as  follows.

1848. 

This  little  work  consists  of  the  preface  and  introduction  to  the  author's  folio 
work,  "The  Birds  of  Australia,"  1840-48  (q.v.),  Vol.  I,  pp.  V-CII  and  1-13, 
December  i,  1848.  These  according  to  the  author,  were  set  up  in  small  type 
for  facility  of  correction  and  issued  in  a  limited  edition  in  that  form  prior  to 
the  issue  of  the  larger  work.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p. 
LXI,  1922)  appears  to  reject  this  volume  and  refers  to  the  introductory  "No- 
tice" for  a  statement  that  "these  are  but  proof  sheets"  and  the  folio  the 
authoritative  text.  However,  the  "Notice"  is  worded  somewhat  differently 
and  says  that  readers  "must  .  .  .  still  regard  it  more  as  a  proof-sheet  than 
otherwise,  inasmuch  as  it  contains  many  imperfections,  most  of  which  have 
been  corrected  in  the  folio  edition."  As  issued  in  the  folio,  the  matter  is 
entirely  reset  and  does  not  affect  the  validity  of  anything  contained  in  the 
present  issue  which  was  "printed  in  an  octavo  form,  for  distribution  among 
my  scientific  friends  and  others,  to  whom  I  trust  it  will  be  at  once  useful 
and  acceptable."  Various  new  names  must  be  quoted  from  this  8vo  edition 
and  not  from  the  folio.  Mathews  (Austral  Av.  Rec.  4,  No.  i,  p.  9,  1920)  gives 
the  date  of  publication  as  August  i,  1848;  source  of  information  not  cited. 

The  present  copy  contains  the  bookplate  of  Frederick  DuCane  Godman, 
and  was  a  presentation  copy  from  the  author.

The  final  arrangement  of  plates  in  the  volume  is  different  from  that  of  their 
issue.  The  latter  may  be  ascertained  from  the  list  of  plates  in  the  volume  and 
from  F.  H.  Waterhouse's  "The  Dates  of  Publication  of  Some  of  the  Zoological 
Works  of  the  Late  John  Gould,"  1885  (q.v.).  The  present  work  is  intended  to 
treat  of  the  species  discovered  after  the  publication  of  the  folio  to  which  this 
volume  forms  a  supplement,  "The  Birds  of  Australia,"  1840-48  (q.v.). 

Among  the  species  included  in  Pt.  I,  several  were  also  discussed  in  a  paper  by 
Gould  on  the  "Researches  in  Natural  History  of  John  McGillivray,  Esq." 
published  in  Jardine's  Contributions  to  Ornithology  for  1850,  pp.  92-106  +  105*, 
which  will  hold  priority  for  the  new  names  unless  a  more  exact  and  subsequent 
date  can  be  proved  for  Jardine's  magazine.  The  species  in  question  are  those 
numbered  5,  6,  12,  16  and  45  in  the  list  of  plates;  Nos.  36  (Pt.  III.)  and  67  (Pt. 
II.)  have  undoubted  priority  in  Jardine's  "Contributions."  Nos.  5  and  6  were 
also  published  in  the  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  Lond.,  1850,  p.  200  (publ.  Febr.  28,  1851) 
which  likewise  antedates  Pt.  I  of  the  folio.

uncolored  plate  of  anatomical  details  and  its  accompanying  text,  from  the  pen 
of  Richard  Owen,  are  unchanged.  The  text  and  plates  of  the  species  newly 
discussed  in  this  edition  were  republished  the  following  year,  1855  (q.v.),  as  a 
supplement  to  the  first  edition.

The  present  work  consists  of  the  plates  and  accompanying  text  relating  to  the 
species  discussed  by  Gould  in  the  second  edition  of  his  "Monograph  of  the 
Ramphastidae,"  1852-54  (q.v.)  but  not  included  in  the  first  edition,  1833-35 
(q.v.).  It  seems  to  have  been  designed  to  add  to  the  first  edition  to  make  it 
equivalent  to  the  second  edition,  but  as  there  are  various  alterations  made  in 
the  species  included  in  the  first  edition,  of  which  changes  no  mention  is  made 
in  the  supplement,  the  equality  is  not  maintained.  The  introduction,  re- 
printed from  the  second  edition,  gives  the  classification  as  adopted  in  the  com- 
plete work.  The  present  copy  is  united  with  the  volume  to  which  it  forms 
the  supplement.  There  is,  in  addition,  a  copy  of  pi.  7  and  its  accompanying 
text,  from  Pt.  I  of  Gould's  "Icones  Avium,"  1837-38  (q.v.),  inserted  in  the 
volume. 

This  supplement  was  issued  in  two  parts,  the  cover-titles  and  contents  of 
which  are  as  given  above,  from  a  copy  in  the  Bavarian  State  Museum,  kindly 
examined  by  Dr.  Q.  Laubmann  of  that  institution.

All  published  of  the  author's  projected  work  which  was  interrupted  by  his  death. 
There  appears  to  be  some  uncertainty  as  to  the  actual  publication  of  the  final 
jo  sheets  without  plates.  These  were  written  by  Gould  but  edited  by  Sharpe, 
whose  initials  appear  at  the  foot  of  each.  Sharpe,  himself,  in  "An  Analytical 
Index  to  the  works  of  the  late  John  Gould,"  p.  XXIII,  1893,  says  that  a  single 
part  was  published.  The  title,  quoted  above,  is  from  the  original  wrapper 
(or  board  cover)  where  the  first  part  alone  is  mentioned.  The  remaining  pages 
may  have  been  sold  by  the  printer  without  authority.

pletion  of  the  work  was  then  undertaken  by  the  publishers  who  obtained  the 
services  of  Sharpe  to  write  the  remaining  text,  Hart  to  prepare  the  plates,  and 
Salvin  to  supervise  the  whole.  Gould  had  planned  to  complete  the  work  in 
four  parts  for  which  he  had  already  prepared  a  large  number  of  the  plates. 
It  was  found  that  he  had  underestimated  the  probable  extent  of  the  project 
and  that  there  were  many  species  yet  to  be  included  if  the  work  were  to  be  a 
complete  exposition  of  all  the  hummingbirds  discovered  since  the  publication 
of  the  original  monograph  (q.v.)  in  1849-61.  The  resulting  increase  in  the 
text  and  illustrations  required  an  extra  part. 

The  allocation  of  the  plates  of  Pts.  I-IV  is  given  by  Waterhouse  in  his 
"Dates  of  Publication  of  Some  of  the  Zoological  Works  of  the  late  John  Gould," 
1885  (q.v.),  pp.  45-55;  the  remaining  plates  and  the  introductory  matter 
appeared  in  Pt.  V.

A  thorough  monograph  of  the  birds  of  Madagascar,  forming  part  of  a  general 
work  on  the  island,  as  indicated  in  the  above  title,  begun  in  1876(75?)  but  still 
incomplete.  The  present  portions,  complete  for  the  ornithology,  were  issued 
in  parts  at  various  times.  The  following  information  is  collected  from  the 
Zoological  Record.  The  text  was  issued  in  three  parts  as  follows:  Pp.  1-176, 
1879;  177-376,  1882  (Febr.  15  or  after);  377-779,  1885.  The  plates  appeared 
in  four  installments.  Some  of  them  were  incorrect  in  certain  particulars  and 
were  replaced  by  others  issued  later.  The  reissued  numbers  are  indicated  below. 
Most  of  the  reissues  are  designated  as  such  in  the  Zoological  Record,  but  others 
are  recognizable  only  by  the  duplication  of  numbers  and  there  may  be  others 
which  were  overlooked.  In  1876  appeared  Pt.  I  of  Vol.  I  of  the  atlas  (  =  Vol. 
XIII  of  the  entire  work,  pt.),  containing  pll.  1-70,  9A,  98,  i2A,  I3A,  i4A,  26A, 
38A,  39A,  40A,  4iA.  In  1878  were  issued  pll.  71-104,  9A  bis,  3OA,  36A,  368,  360. 
In  1879  appeared  pll.  105-144,  IO7A,  io8A  and  (i3iA  =  )  1318.  The  remainder 
of  the  plates  and  the  reissues  of  some  of  the  earlier  ones  came  out  under  covers 
dated  1879  and  1881  but  the  Zoological  Record  for  1881  states  that  they  were 
accompanied  by  a  circular  which  proved  that  they  could  not  have  been  issued 
prior  to  February  15,  1882  and,  "in  fact,  were  not  issued  until  much  later," 
being  received  in  May  1882.  These  include  pll.  145-303,  IA,  gc,  i6A,  i9A,

with  their  synonyms  and  with  the  name  of  the  type  species  of  each  and  its  syno- 
nyms. New  names  are  supplied  by  the  author  where  any  generic  name  and  all 
of  its  synonyms  are  untenable,  including  terms  which  have  prior  usage  in 
botany.  The  work  is  extremely  important  in  view  of  the  new  names  as  well  as 
for  the  type-designations.  A  second  edition  was  published  in  1841  (q.v.). 
Mathews  (Birds  of  Australia,  7,  pp.  453)  notes  that  the  work  was  reviewed  in 
the  Isis  for  April  1840.  The  preface  is  dated  October  1839.  (See  also  Selby,

A  revised  edition  of  the  author's  work  of  the  same  title  (q.v.)  published  the 
previous  year,  with  many  changes  and  additions.  Although  recognizing  that 
the  foundation  of  the  binomial  system  of  nomenclature  was  laid  by  Linn6  in 
1758  (Cf.  p.  VIII.),  the  author  cites  Linnean  names  from  the  first  edition  of 
the  "Systema  Naturae,"  1735,  in  order  to  credit  Linne1  with  generic  names 
used  by  him  in  1835  and  by  later  authors,  but  not  found  in  the  tenth  edition 
of  Linnets  work.  The  present  edition  of  Gray  contains  new  names  not  in  the 
first  edition,  supplied  by  the  author  when  no  others  were  available.  An  ap-

pendix  (q.v.)  was  issued  in  1842.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.

(Birds  of  Australia,  7,  p.  453)  gives  the  date  as  September,  quoting  from  the 
covers  of  the  Annals  and  Magazine  of  Natural  History  for  Sept.-Oct.,  1841. 
What  is  virtually  a  further  revised  edition  is  found  in  Gray's  "Catalogue  of 
the  Genera  and  Subgenera  of  Birds  contained  in  the  British  Museum,"  1855 
(q.v.).

natures dated  between  March  and  June,  1849.  The  Proc.  Bost.  Soc.  Nat. 
Hist,  for  June  30,  1849  notes  that  Pt.  48  included  the  appendix.);  49,  June  25, 
1849;  50,  Nov.  i,  1849  (probably  title-pages,  etc.;  I  can  find  no  signatures 
dated  after  June  1849). 

The  discussion  of  the  Struthiones  is  dated  "March  1844";  the  signature, 
"4  I,"  indicates  that  this  is  in  error  for  "March  1846"  as  given  on  other  signa- 
tures in  the  work  with  adjacent  numbers.  The  original  discussions  of  the  Accipi- 
trinae,  Buteoninae  and  Ploceinae  were  suppressed  and  replaced  by  substitute 
parts  published  in  June,  June,  and  March,  respectively,  1849.  Footnotes  in 
the  tables  of  contents  indicate  such  a  substitution.  Certain  new  names  which 
occur  on  these  pages  must,  therefore,  be  quoted  from  the  earlier  suppressed 
sheets  (Cf.  Richmond,  Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.,  53,  p.  596,  footn.  i,  1917.).  The 
original  pages  of  the  Ploceinae  were  published  in  Pt.  i.

described.  Full  synonymy  is  given  for  each  species  in  the  collection  and  the 
source  of  each  specimen  is  added.  Exact  dates  for  the  parts  are  not  available, 
but  the  years,  as  given  on  the  title-pages,  are  probably  correct.  Pt.  I  is  reviewed 
in  the  Revue  Zoologique  for  July,  1844.  Pt.  Ill  (Sect,  n)  has  the  preface 
dated  March  i,  1859  and  is  reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for  July  of  that  year.  Pt. 
Ill  (Sects,  in  and  IV)  has  the  preface  dated  January  1868.  Pt.  IV  has  the 
preface  dated  April  12,  1856  and  was  quoted  by  Bonaparte  in  a  paper  read 
before  the  Academic  des  Sciences  de  Paris  on  Nov.  3  of  that  year.  Pt.  V, 
dated  1867,  was  reviewed  in  the  Ibis  for  January  1868,  the  date  being  given 
as  on  the  title-page.  Pt.  I  was  revised  and  republished  in  1848,  but  this 
revision  is  missing  from  the  present  set.  Pts.  IV  and  V  are  revisions  of  parts  of 
Pt.  Ill;  the  three  orders  contained  in  the  latter  volume  were  afterwards  sub- 
divided. The  series  was  never  completed,  being  superseded  by  the  "Catalogue 
of  Birds  in  the  British  Museum"  of  varied  authorship  (Cf.  British  Museum 
1874-98.)-

A  "complete  List  of  the  Genera  and  Subgenera  of  Birds,  with  their  chief  Syno- 
nyma  and  Types."  Species  not  contained  in  the  British  Museum  are  marked 
with  a  dagger.  The  type-designations  form  the  chief  value  of  the  work  at 
the  present  time.  Many  changes  in  nomenclature  appear  between  the  present 
work  and  the  author's  earlier  "A  List  of  the  Genera  of  Birds,"  eds.  1840  and 
1841  (q.v.),  of  which  this  may  be  considered  as  a  revision.  Bonaparte  pre- 
sented a  copy  of  the  work  to  the  Academy  of  Science  of  Paris  at  a  meeting  held 
October  22,  1855;  noted  in  the  "Comptes  Rendus,"  41,  pp.  649  and  674,  1855; 
this  is  the  earliest  definite  record  I  can  find.  Cabanis  notes  the  work  in  the 
Journal  fur  Ornithologie  for  July  1855,  Dut  the  date  of  that  periodical  is  itself 
uncertain.  The  preface  of  Gray's  work  is  dated  April  6,  1855.

"The  object  of  this  Hand-List  is  to  give  a  complete  List  of  all  the  Genera  with 
their  Subdivisions;  and  also  a  comprehensive  List  of  the  species  of  Birds  under 
the  respective  divisions  to  which  they  are  supposed  to  belong."  The  work 
catalogues  2915  genera  and  subgenera  and  11,162  species  with  numerous  syn- 
onyms of  each  and  with  bibliographic  references  to  published  illustrations. 
The  range  of  each  species  is  noted  and  a  table  of  genera  and  subgenera  is  given 
in  each  volume.  Vol.  Ill  contains  indices  to  the  genera  and  subgenera  and  to 
the  species  of  the  entire  work,  with  certain  synonymic  and  other  notes  incor- 
porated into  them  which  are  not  in  the  general  text.  This  book  was  superseded 
by  Sharpe's  "A  Hand-List  of  the  Genera  and  Species  of  Birds,"  1899-1909 
(q.v.).  The  preface  of  Vol.  I  is  dated  May  10,  1869;  the  volume  is  reviewed 
in  the  Ibis  for  January  1870  as  just  having  been  issued,  being  cited,  however, 
under  date  of  1869.  Vol.  n  has  its  preface  dated  November  9,  1870,  and  Vol. 
Ill,  July  8,  1871;  these  are  said  by  Ma  thews  (Birds  of  Australia,  Suppl.  4,  p. 
60,  1925)  to  have  appeared  before  Nov.  23,  1870  and  Aug.  18,  1871,  respectively.

A  series  of  plates  of  animals,  not  all  from  India,  largely  from  specimens  and 
drawings  collected  by  Hardwicke, — some  from  other  sources.  A  text  seems  to 
have  been  planned  but  it  was  never  published.  The  work  was  issued  in  20 
parts  of  which  the  lists  of  plates  in  the  volumes  announce  that  I-X  compose 
Vol.  I  and  XI-XX,  Vol.  II.  Kinnear  (Ibis,  1925,  pp.  484-489)  has  given  a 
careful  account  of  the  work  and  a  list  of  dates  on  which  the  various  parts  were 
received  by  the  Linnean  Society  and  the  Hon.  East  India  Company.  He 
further  supplies  the  contents  of  each  part  from  a  copy  in  original  wrappers. 
Kinnear's  data  are  as  follows,  using  the  numbering  of  the  ornithological  plates 
as  given  in  the  lists  (the  plates  are  unnumbered).

A  series  of  38  plates  by  Gronvold,  originally  intended  to  serve  as  a  portion  of  the 
illustrations  of  Brabourne  and  Chubb's  "The  Birds  of  South  America,"  1913 
(q.v.).  The  death  of  Lord  Brabourne  ended  that  work  when  only  one  volume 
had  been  issued  and  before  any  of  the  plates  had  appeared,  although  some  of 
these  were  completed  and  others  were  in  course  of  preparation.  Later,  these 
plates  were  issued  separately  under  the  present  title,  with  short  explanatory 
notes  by  H.  Kirke  Swann.  A  half-title  with  the  work  reads,  "The  birds  |  of  | 
South  America.  |  Vol.  II  (Plates.),"  but  the  two  publications  are,  in  reality 
distinct.  A  first  series  of  19  plates  appears  to  have  been  issued  in  1915;  the 
remainder,  with  the  short  text,  appeared  in  1917.

An  annotated  list  of  the  species  of  birds  recorded  from  Cuba,  with  miscellaneous 
notes.  A  first  appendix  contains  rather  detailed  synonomies  of  the  various 
species,  and  some  corrections  of  the  text.  A  second  supplement  adds  more 
corrections  and  emendations  and  presents  the  general  indices,  concluding  with  a 
long  list  of  errata.  The  work,  as  here  collated,  was  published  in  Havana  and 
issued  in  sheets  with  the  "Anales  de  la  Real  Academia  de  Ciencias,"  Vols. 
IX-XII,  in  the  years  1873  (?) — 1876.  It  also  appeared  in  German,  without  the 
appendices,  in  the  Journal  fur  Ornithologie,  during  the  years  1871-75.  Taschen-

Sufficiently  explained  by  the  title.  Japan,  as  considered  herein,  is  strictly  con- 
strued, including  only  Tanegashima  and  Yakushima,  in  addition  to  the  central 
islands.  Original  descriptions  are  cited,  with  English  vernacular  names  for  all 
species  and  Japanese  names  for  the  Japanese  forms.  Breeding  species,  excep- 
tional visitors  and  rare  visitors  are  indicated.

A  curious  book,  apparently  the  second  volume  of  a  set  including  other  zoological 
subjects.  The  illustrations  consist  of  small,  embossed,  lithographed  cards, 
with  portraits  of  different  birds,  mounted  12  or,  in  one  case,  9  to  the  page  and 
described  on  the  opposite  page  of  text.  Both  common  and  Latin  names  are 
given.  The  work  is  of  no  scientific  importance.

A  series  or  rather  crude  hand-colored  plates  with  accompanying  descriptions. 
The  work  was  originally  planned  to  occupy  48  parts  of  6  pll.  each.  It  was  begun 
by  Hahn,  alone,  and  carried  by  him  to  Pt.  XVII ;  the  remaining  numbers  were 
prepared  and  issued  by  Kuster.  In  1850  the  original  19  numbers  appear  to 
have  been  reissued,  together  with  a  new  part  (XX)  which  contained  title-page, 
index,  etc.  The  original  parts  carry  no  title-page.  I  have  quoted  the  above 
title  from  a  leaf  of  prospectus  which  is  bound  with  the  work  and  which  refers 
to  it  under  that  name;  the  new  title  is  more  complete  and  is  dated  1850. 

Pts.  I-V  contain  a  separate  leaf  of  text  for  each  plate;  VI,  XI  and  XIII-XV, 
each  have  but  2  11.  text  (or  text  and  pref.)  for  all  their  respective  plates;  the 
remaining  parts  each  have  but  i  1.  text.  Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect. 
2,  Pt.  i,  p.  LXIV,  1922)  gives  the  dates  of  publication  as  follows.  Pts.  I-II,

(in  litt.  to  Dr.  Hellmayr)  notes  that  the  wrapper  of  Pt.  XIII  bears  the  date, 
1822,  at  variance  with  Sherborn's  conclusions;  the  preface  of  this  part  is  dated 
September  1822.  Some  approximate  dates  are  available  from  the  prefaces, 
insert-slips,  etc.  accompanying  certain  parts,  as  follows.  Pt.  HI,  insert-slip

The  above  85  11.  of  text  and  136  colored  plates  are  descriptive  and  illustrative  of 
various  birds  not  found  in  Europe.  The  work  was  issued  in  17  parts,  of  which 
only  the  first  6  were  completed  by  Hahn.  After  Hahn's  death  the  remaining 
parts  were  written  and  published  by  Kuster.  The  contents  of  Pts.  i  and  1 7  are 
noted  on  the  final  wrapper  of  those  parts  (included  in  the  present  copy)  and 
many  of  the  pages  and  plates  in  the  other  parts  are  recognizable  from  their 
signature-numbers.  A  careful  examination  of  these  and  other  marks  makes 
the  following  arrangement  seem  fairly  certain.  Pt.  i,  Psittacus,  pp.  1-20,  pll.

Sherborn  (Index  Animalium,  Sect.  2,  Pt.  i,  p.  LXIV,  1922)  gives  the  dates 
of  publication  as  follows.  Pts.  1-3,  1834;  4,  1834  or  1835;  5-9,  1836;  10-13, 
1837;  14-15,  1838;  16,  1840;  17,  1849.  The  last  figure  appears  to  be  an  error 
for  1841.  The  cover  of  that  part  is  dated  1841  and  a  note  on  the  back  cover 
is  dated  March  1841,  while  Engelmann  (whose  work  dates  1846)  gives  the  final 
date  for  the  whole  work  (Pts.  1-17)  as  1841. 

Attached  to  the  plate  of  Picumnus  minutissimus  is  a  clipping  from  the 
original  wrapper  in  which  it  appeared,  reading,  "Der  Text  zu  diesem  Vogel 
folgt  in  einem  der  nachsten  Hefte,  mit  der  ubrigen  Arten  von  Picumnus." 
Beneath,  some  one  has  written,  "nicht  erschienen."  Some  errors  exist  in  the 
numbering  of  the  plates  of  Psittacus.  PI.  12  should  be  9,  9-11,  11-12,  18-17, 
17,  18;  30,  29;  and  29,  30.  The  present  copy  is  from  the  library  of  F.  D.  God- 
man  and  contains  his  bookplate.

Sept.). 

A  supplement  to  the  author's  "Systematisches  Verzeichniss  der  Naturhistorischen 
Sammlung  des  Gesellschaft  Museum,  Abt.  i,  V6gel,  Bremen,  1844."  The 
present  work  consists  of  a  list  of  240  species  of  birds,  with  the  citation  of  a 
locality  (sometimes  very  general)  and  a  reference  to  the  original  description 
or  a  published  figure.  A  number  of  the  species  are  new  and  one  genus.  Neornis, 
(based  on  an  undescribed  species)  also  is  new.  However,  there  are  no  descrip- 
tions and  the  new  names  are  all  nomina  nuda.  The  book,  as  well  as  its  prede- 
cessor, is  rare.  The  preface  is  dated  September.

i  vol.  demy  4to,  pp.  I-VI,  1-29.    Bremen. 

A  tabular  list  of  the  448  species  of  birds  given  by  Azara  in  his  "Apuntamientos" 
(Cf.  Azara,  Voyages  dens  I'Amerique  Meridionale,  1809.)  with  parallel  columns 
showing  the  page-references  to  two  editions  of  Azara  and  the  nomenclature 
according  to  various  authors.  The  work  is  extremely  useful  to  the  systematist 
since  it  is  considerably  less  rare  than  the  original  treatise  to  which  it  forms  an 
index.  The  present  copy  has  many  marginal  annotations  in  the  handwriting 
of  Count  Berlepsch. 
This  work  is  noted  as  just  published,  in  the  Revue  Zoologique  for  July  1847.

i  vol.  imperial  folio,  title,  pp.  1-24,  40  pll.  (col.;  2  fold.).   London. 

A  series  of  hand-colored  plates  with  explanatory  text,  neither  of  which  is  of 
scientific  value.  Several  introduced  species  are  included  in  the  number.  Only 
5  pll.  have  a  printed  title;  the  remainder  are  labeled  by  hand;  none  are  num- 
bered except  in  the  text.  The  arrangement  of  the  plates  is  indescribably  mixed 
in  the  binding  of  the  present  copy.

1  vol.  superroyal  folio,  16  pll.  (col.). 

An  assortment  of  16  hand-colored  plates,  9  of  which  are  taken  from  the  author's 
"A  Natural  History  of  British  Birds,"  1771-75  (q.v.).  Of  these,  all  are  more  or 
less  altered  in  color  and  rather  more  finely  executed,  several  have  the  printed 
date  changed  (by  hand)  from  "1771"  to  "1778,"  and  others  have  slightly 
different  titles.  The  remaining  7  plates  are  dated  1779;  5  of  these  are  of 
subjects  illustrated  in  the  author's  "Portraits  of  Rare  and  Curious  Birds," 
1749-79  (q.v.),  mostly  similar  in  style  but  not  identical.  There  is  no  text  or 
title.

A  critical  review  of  the  nomenclature  of  Bavarian  birds.  Pt.  I  (pp.  1-33)  contains 
a  check-list  of  species,  giving  for  each  the  accepted  Latin  name  (binomial  or 
trinomial),  the  preferred  vernacular  name,  the  reference  to  the  original  descrip- 
tion, the  quotation  of  original  name  and  type  locality  as  given  by  the  describer, 
and  the  type  locality  as  defined  at  present.  Pt.  II  (pp.  33-35)  contains  a 
similar  list  for  species  the  records  of  whose  local  occurrence  are  questionable. 
Pt.  Ill  (pp.  35-55)  is  devoted  to  a  list  of  genera  with  original  references  and

A  detailed  study  of  the  classification  of  the  vertebrates,  in  which  the  birds  are 
discussed  on  pp.  131-235  and  the  first  insert.  The  work  is  very  important 
because  binomial  names  are  given  for  the  first  time  to  many  species  previously 
described  or  figured  under  vernacular  names  in  Buffon's  "Histoire  Naturelle 
Generate ;  Oiseaux,"  1749,  and  Daubenton's  accompanying  plates  (Cf.  Buffon, 
Hist.  Nat.  des  Oiseaux,  1770-86).  A  review  of  the  new  names  in  Her- 
mann is  given  by  Stresemann  in  the  Novit.  Zool.  27,  pp.  327-332,  1920,  The 
actual  date  of  publication  is  unknown  but  is  supposed  to  be  prior  to  Boddaert's 
"Table  de  Planches  Enluminees"  (Cf.  Reprint,  1874.)  which  also  proposes 
names  for  species  described  in  Buffon.  The  book  is  quite  rare.

Previously  unpublished  notes  and  descriptions  by  Hermann,  edited  and  published 
by  Hammer  with  occasional  notes  added  by  the  latter.  Some  of  the  descriptions 
which,  apparently,  were  not  in  Latin  in  the  manuscript,  have  been  translated 
into  Latin  to  agree  with  the  remainder  of  the  text,  but  these  translations  are  so 
marked  and  all  editorial  notes  are  specified  and  enclosed  in  parentheses  or 
brackets.  There  would  appear  to  be  no  occasion  to  quote  Hammer  as  the  author 
of  any  of  the  new  names  as  has  been  done  by  some  recent  workers.  There  are

numerous  new  species  and  genera  described  in  the  work,  not  all  of  which  have 
been  identified  in  recent  years. 

The  volume,  although  called  "pars  prior,"  is  the  only  portion  of  the  work 
published,  and  contains  descriptions  of  vertebrates,  only.  The  birds  occupy 
pp.  93-215.  Later  portions  were  planned  to  deal  with  insects,  worms,  zoophytes,

The  discussion  of  a  method  of  bird-photography  advocated  by  the  author,-that  of 
moving  the  nest,  when  necessary,  to  situations  most  favorable  to  the  photog- 
rapher, rather  than  attempting  to  secure  the  picture  under  trying  conditions. 
Detailed  studies  of  a  number  of  species  are  given,  illustrated  with  photographs 
taken  by  the  proposed  method.

The  book  consists  of  an  account  of  the  breeding  habits  of  the  various  species  of 
British  birds,  with  colored  plates  of  their  eggs.  It  was  issued  in  37  parts,  not 
including  the  supplement,  from  April  i,  1831,  to  June  i,  1838.  With  Pt. 
XXXVII  was  issued  a  title-page  to  Vol.  Ill  with,  however,  a  recommendation 
to  subscribers  to  have  the  work  bound  in  two  volumes,  as  was  done  with  the 
present  copy.  The  third  title-page  is  missing  from  this  copy.  The  plates  are 
hand-colored  and  are  not  arranged  in  numerical  sequence.  Two  later  editions 
were  issued  under  a  slightly  different  title,  as  "Coloured  Illustrations  of  the 
Eggs  of  British  Birds,"  etc.,  1842-46  and  1853-56  (q.v.).  The  present  work 
was,  of  necessity,  printed  at  various  times  and  in  various  places,  according  to  a 
statement  by  the  author  in  the  third  edition  of  the  work,  and  a  complete  col- 
lation would  be  unwieldy  even  if  it  were  available.

Said  to  have  been  issued  in  monthly  parts  from  1842  to  1846.  The  work  is  some- 
thing more  than  a  new  edition  of  the  earlier  "British  Oology,"  1831-42  (q.v.), 
since  the  text  is  rewritten  and  enlarged  and  the  plates  are  different.  Plate  LXV 
is  wrongly  numbered  LXI.  There  are  several  printed  corrections  interleaved  in 
the  copy,  the  source  of  which  I  do  not  know;  they  are  probably  cut  from  a  page 
of  emendations.  There  is  a  third  edition,  1853-56,  under  the  same  short  title 
as  the  present  one  (q.v.).

than  any  mark  difficult  to  see  on  the  living  bird,  and  to  call  attention  to  their 
characteristic  habits  and  haunts."  This  purpose  the  author  has  accomplished 
with  signal  success  and  his  characterizations  are  concise  and  decisive.  Keys,

A  discussion,  in  systematic  order,  of  the  birds  secured  or  observed  in  southern 
Africa  by  Emil  Holub.  The  various  paragraphs  are  initialed  by  the  authors; 
those  by  Holub  consisting  of  field-notes  and  observations,  those  by  Pelzeln 
being  of  a  more  technical  nature.  Two  species  are  described  as  new.  The  title 
on  the  wrapper  differs  from  that  on  the  title-page  only  in  the  number  of  illus- 
trations cited;  that  on  the  wrapper  is  the  more  accurate,  although  not  per- 
fectly correct.  The  variations  are  given  in  brackets  in  the  above  citation. 
The  reasons  for  the  alteration  are  given  by  the  author  on  p.  359.

(index  to  native  names  in  Vol.  II),  I-IV  (index  to  generic  names, 
Vol.  II),  I-IX  (index  to  specific  names,  Vol.  II).  London. 

A  catalogue  of  the  species  of  birds  in  the  collection  of  the  East  India  Company, 
with  synonymy,  native  names,  lists  of  specimens  and  numerous  discussions  or 
descriptions,  often  quoted  from  other  authors.  Various  species  are  renamed  or 
described  as  new  by  the  junior  author  although  many  of  the  new  species  are 
accredited  to  Moore  in  reference  to  papers  published  by  him  in  the  Proc.  Zool. 
Society  of  London,  1854  and  1855.  These  names,  likewise,  have  been  quoted 
from  the  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London  by  recent  authors,  although  some  of  them 
should  date  from  the  present  work. 

Vol.  I  of  the  "Catalogue"  was  published  late  in  1854,  in  spite  of  the  date 
(1856-8)  on  the  title-page.  The  Appendix  No.  II  (pp.  414-423)  containing  some 
errata  for  the  volume,  is  signed  "August  igth,  1854"  and  the  preface,  presum- 
ably written  when  the  rest  of  the  volume  was  already  printed,  is  dated  Sept.  15. 
Furthermore,  Hartlaub,  in  the  following  year  (Journ.  fur  Orn.,  3,  pp.  317-320), 
reviews  the  work  as  having  been  published  in  1854.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London  for  1854  was  all  published  in  1855  except  pp.  1-32 
(containing  some  descriptions  of  five  new  species  of  the  genus  Ruticilla  by 
Moore)  and  these  came  out  on  Dec.  30,  1854.  With  the  very  improbable  excep- 
tion of  the  new  species  of  Ruticilla,  therefore,  all  the  new  species  in  Vol.  I  must 
date  from  the  "Catalogue."  The  new  names  in  Vol.  II,  accredited  to  the  Proc. 
Zool.  Soc.  London  for  1855  date  from  the  journal  in  question.  Vol.  II  was 
received  by  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History  during  the  quarter  ending 
Dec.  31,  1858.

97-98  of  Vol.  II),  to  replace  the  original  pages  issued  with  Pt.  7  which  were 
thereby  cancelled.  Pt.  9*  contained  a  reissue  of  pp.  11-12  and  21-22  of  the 
"General  Summary  and  Concluding  Remarks  (=pp.  203-204  and  213-214  of

In  addition  to  the  matter  collated,  Pts.  1-9  and  9*  each  contained  a  subtitle 
and  list  of  contents  (2  11.).  The  list  of  contents  for  Pt.  2  includes  a  reference  to 
the  figure  of  the  female  Chiff  Chaff  (pi.  40  of  Vol.  I)  which  was  not  issued  until 
Pt.  3,  as  noted  above.  The  present  copy  is  complete  except  for  the  original 
pages  11-12  and  21-22  of  the  "General  Summary  and  Concluding  Remarks" 
which  have  been  replaced  by  the  reissues.  The  work  presents  a  detailed  study 
of  the  life-histories  of  British  Warblers,  with  a  philosophical  discussion  of  the 
instincts  and  habits  of  the  various  species.  The  illustrations  are  very  fine.

An  account  of  the  habits  of  the  birds  of  the  La  Plata  region  of  Argentina,  with 
brief  descriptions.  The  whole  is  taken,  with  slight  modifications,  from  Sclater 
and  Hudson's  "Argentine  Ornithology,"  1888-89  (Q-v.).  without  being  brought 
up  to  date.  The  plates,  however,  are  new.

Based  on  the  author's  "Lost  British  Birds,"  published  in  1894  (Society  for  the 
Protection  of  Birds,  No.  14),  and  manuscript  notes  made  with  the  intention  of 
publishing  a  revised,  enlarged  edition.  After  Hudson's  death,  this  material  was 
edited  by  Linda  Gardiner  and  published  in  the  form  presented  herewith. 
Twenty-five  species  of  birds,  extinct  or  nearing  extinction  as  British  birds 
(thirteen  were  included  in  the  first  edition) ,  are  discussed  as  to  former  occurrence, 
reasons  for  reduction  in  numbers,  etc.  The  plates  illustrate  the  various  species.

Intended  to  be  continued  at  greater  length,  this  work  was  terminated  with  the 
second  number  and  includes  only  the  raptorial  birds.  According  to  a  statement 
by  the  author  in  his  periodical,  "Stray  Feathers,"  Vol.  V,  page  125,  the  dates  of 
publication  are  uncertain,  but  No.  i  (to  p.  237)  was  issued  "either  at  the  end 
of  February  1869,  or  during  the  first  few  days  of  March"  while  No.  2  "was  not 
issued  until  quite  the  end  of  March,"  1870.

have  written  the  text,  while  Marshall  gave  his  attention  to  the  preparation  of 
the  plates.  The  dates  1878,  1879  and  1880,  respectively,  are  printed  on  the 
backs  of  the  volumes  but  these  antedate  the  publisher's  imprint  and,  in  the 
case  of  Vol.  I,  antedate  the  author's  preface  which  is  dated  July  i,  1879.

A  second  edition  of  Hume's  "Nests  and  Eggs  of  Indian  Birds,  Rough  Draft," 
1873-1875  (q.v.).  The  materials  and  notes  for  the  present  edition  were  trans- 
mitted by  Hume  to  Gates  who  edited  and  produced  the  present  work,  adding 
many  footnotes  and  altering  the  nomenclature  and  arrangement  according  to 
his  own  ideas.  Gates,  therefore,  must  be  quoted  for  at  least  the  nomenclatorial 
portion  of  the  work.  At  the  time  of  editing  this  book,  Gates  was  writing  his 
volumes  on  "The  Fauna  of  British  India,"  1889-98  (q.v.),  in  which  various

new  names  are  used  that  appear  also  in  the  present  work.  The  evidence  tends 
to  show,  however,  that  the  "Nests  and  Eggs"  appeared  before  the  "Fauna," 
volume  for  volume.  The  prefaces  of  the  present  book  antedate  those  of  the 
"Fauna"  and  the  latter  work  regularly  quotes  this  one  with  page-references. 
If  this  surmise  is  correct,  the  new  names  should  be  quoted  from  the  present 
volumes,  "Gates  in  Hume."

A  rare  work  on  British  ornithology.  The  text,  according  to  Newton  (Dictionary  of 
Birds,  Pt.  I,  Introd.,  p.  42,  footn.)  may  have  been  written  by  R.  C.  Coxe,  but 
this  is  doubted  by  Mullens  and  Swann.  The  work  was  never  completed;  page 
138  of  Vol.  Ill  ends  in  the  middle  of  a  sentence,  and  there  are  78  plates  (77 
col.)  in  that  volume  for  which  no  text  exists.  The  book  appeared  in  15  parts 
with  12  colored  plates  in  each  part  (according  to  Engelmann).  The  number  of 
plates  appears  to  be  variable  in  different  copies.  The  present  set  (from  the 
library  of  W.  H.  Mullens)  is  one  of  the  most  complete.

the  species  arranged  in  a  different  order  and  with  alterations  and  additions  based 
on  further  observations  by  the  author.  The  colored  plates  of  birds  are  very 
attractive.

descriptions  of  many  new  species  and  new  genera.  The  first  three  volumes 
have  a  duplicate  of  each  plate  in  black  and  white;  these  are  lacking  in  the  volume 
of  the  New  Series.  Plate  93  is  wrongly  labeled  94;  135  and  136  are  wrongly 
labeled  138  and  137,  respectively,  both  the  latter  numbers  being  omitted  from

blank  portion  of  the  page,  a  reverse  impression  apparently  transferred  from  a

dine's  "The  Naturalist's  Library"  (1833),  Pt.  9  of  the  First  Series  is  announced 
with  seventeen  plates;  an  examination  of  pi.  136  (wrongly  numbered  137)  and 
its  accompanying  text  shows  that  it  agrees  closely  with  pi.  135  (wrongly 
numbered  138)  and  its  letterpress,  while  pi.  139  differs  in  being  dated  "(1835)" 
while  its  text  shows  a  change  in  type.  It  is  possible,  therefore,  that  Pt.  9  con- 
tained pi.  136.

given  a  synopsis  of  all  the  forms,  with  descriptions  of  all  of  them.  Somewhat 
detailed  biographies  of  Linnaeus  and  Pennant  are  given  in  the  front  of  the 
volumes.  The  colored  plates  are  without  backgrounds  other  than  the  twigs 
(uncolored  on  which  the  birds  are  represented  as  perching.  In  this  respect 
the  two  volumes  differ  from  all  the  remainder  of  the  ornithological  series  of 
"The  Naturalist's  Library,"  original  edition.  Latin  names,  only,  are  on  the 
plates.  Both  of  the  above  quoted  title-pages  are  in  the  second  volume;  the 
serial  and  general  titles  are  given  under  Jardine,  "The  Naturalist's  Library, ' ' 
1833-43  (q.v.).  A  special  edition  was  issued  by  Lizars  in  1840  under  the  present 
title  (q.v.).  Later  editions  (q.v.,  1844-64)  were  published  of  the  entire  series 
in  which  the  present  books  form  Vols.  VI  and  VII  of  the  Ornithology.  The 
preface  of  Vol.  II  (ist  ed.)  is  dated  November  1833.

40  vols.  cap  8vo.  (Collation  of  ornithological  volumes  given  under

A  series  of  separate  works  on  Mammalogy,  Ornithology,  Ichthyology  and  Entomo- 
logy, written  by  various  authors,  edited  by  Jardine,  and  published  in  the  present 
uniform  style.  According  to  an  editorial  note  in  the  last  volume,  the  series 
contains  more  than  1280  plates  including  more  than  4000  figures.  In  addition 
to  the  general  subject  matter,  each  of  the  volumes  contains  a  portrait  and 
memoir  of  some  noted  naturalist  (See  below.).  As  the  books  appeared,  they 
were  tabulated  in  a  list  printed  in  the  front  of  the  volumes  and  given  a  serial 
number  in  the  order  of  their  appearance.  These  numbers  (1-40)  are  often 
quoted  by  the  editor  in  referring  to  the  various  volumes,  but  they  do  not 
appear  on  any  title-page.  The  original  title  (quoted  above)  gives  each  volume 
a  serial  number  with  reference  to  its  subject  matter  (Mammalia,  I-XIII;  Orni- 
thology, I-XIV;  Ichthyology,  I-IV;  Entomology,  I- VII).  At  the  close  of  the 
work  (Orn.,  Vol.  XIV),  a  set  of  new  title-pages  was  issued  in  which  the  order 
was  changed  and  the  entire  series  numbered  from  I-XL,  although  still  grouped 
by  subjects  (Cf.  Jardine,  The  Naturalist's  Library,  Vols.  I-XL,  1843.).  In 
addition,  each  volume  contains  still  another  title-page  with  full  title  and  author- 
ship for  the  text,  but  with  no  reference  to  the  general  title  of  "The  Naturalist's 
Library."  Later  editions  of  the  series  (by  Bohn,  Chatto  and  Windus,  and 
Lizars)  have  another  altered  arrangement  for  the  volumes  whose  numbering 
does  not  correspond  to  that  of  the  present  edition  (Cf.  Jardine,"The  Naturalist's 
Library,"  reissues,  1844-64.).  For  convenience,  the  various  volumes  on  or- 
nithology are  collated  separately  under  their  respective  authors  and  titles. 
The  comparative  list  given  on  next  page  will  show  the  relationship  between  the 
various  numbers,  title-pages,  etc.  Column  a  gives  the  number  of  the  volume  in 
the  ornithological  series;  b,  the  serial  number  as  issued;  c,  the  number  of 
the  volume  in  the  whole  set,  as  later  arranged;  d,  the  number  of  the  volume  in 
the  ornithological  series  of  later  editions;  e,  the  author;  and  /,  the  title  and 
original  date.  For  further  data,  see  the  separate  titles.

The  above  lettering  appears  on  a  set  of  title-pages  for  the  entire  work  issued  with 
Vol.  XL,  all  bearing  the  date  1843  regardless  of  the  actual  date  of  publication 
of  each  volume.  As  is  noted,  the  subjects  are  grouped  and  the  volumes  numb- 
ered consecutively  from  I  to  XL,  at  variance  with  the  original  title  which  be- 
gins a  new  series  for  each  branch  of  the  subject  (Cf.  Jardine,  The  Naturalist's 
Library,  Ornithology,  Vols.  I-XIV,  1833-43).  The  present  serial  numbers 
are  not  to  be  confused  with  those  (1-40)  of  the  list  of  volumes  in  the  order  of 
publication,  given  with  most  of  the  volumes  and  frequently  quoted  by  the 
editor  in  prefatory  remarks  as  "the  Sixth  Volume  of  the  Naturalist's  Library," 
etc.  The  relations  between  the  present  system  of  numbering  and  that  of  the 
original  titles  of  the  volumes  dealing  with  birds,  "Ornithology,  Vols.  I-XIV," 
together  with  the  subjects  and  authors  of  each  volume  are  given  under  the 
original  title  (q.v.).

pheasants  etc.  The  second  and  third  parts  of  the  "Gallinaceous  Birds" 
are  indicated  as  such  on  their  serial  title-pages  ("Ornithology"  Vols.  IV  and 
V),  but  their  subject  titles  refer  simply  to  "Game-Birds,"  1834,  and  "Pigeons," 
1835  (by  P.  J.  Selby,  q.v.).  The  memoir  of  Aristotle,  by  Crichton,  occupies 
pp.  17-112.  Scientific  names,  only,  appear  on  the  plates,  some  of  which  are 
copied  from  Gould  and  Audubon  while  others  are  new,  by  Stewart.

The  book  is  descriptive  of  the  grouse,  partridges  and  tinamous.  The  plates

of  the  same,  1844-64  (q.v.).  English  names  and  scenic  backgrounds  appear 
on  the  plates.  The  serial  title  of  Vol.  XI  is  inscribed  "Vol.  X",  but  the  correct 
number  is  placed  on  the  binding.  The  memoir  of  Sir  Robert  Sibbald  in  Pt. 
I  (Vol.  IX)  is  by  the  pen  of  an  anonymous  friend  of  Jardine.  The  substitute 
title-pages  at  the  close  of  the  fourth  volume  (the  last  of  the  entire  series)  are 
intended  to  supplant  the  serial  titles  under  which  the  work  was  issued. 

A  chronological  table  of  the  naturalists  whose  memoirs  appear  in  the  40 
vols.  of  "The  Naturalist's  Library"  is  given  on  pp.  51-53  of  Pt.  IV,  over  the

A  set  of  the  14  ornithological  volumes  of  Jardine's  "The  Naturalist's  Library," 
composed  of  copies  from  various  editions  (after  the  first),  bound  more  or  less 
uniformly  but  varying  so  erratically  in  title-pages,  etc.  that  the  detailed  trans- 
cription of  the  titles  under  one  heading  is  inconvenient.  The  volumes  bear 
the  imprint  of  Bohn,  Lizars  and  Bohn,  Lizars,  or  Chatto  and  Windus,  sometimes 
differing  on  the  engraved  and  regular  title-pages,  and  with  or  without  a  refer- 
ence to  "The  Naturalist's  Library."  The  numbering  of  the  volumes  appears 
to  agree  in  the  various  editions  so  combined.  In  the  citation  of  the  original 
edition,  1833-43  (q-v-),  are  given  the  titles  and  contents  of  each  volume  in  the 
present  series  (as  well  as  the  original)  and  the  collation  of  each  volume  will  be 
found  under  its  particular  author  and  title.  The  reprint  of  Jardine's  "Natural 
History  of  the  Nectariniadae"  is  dated  1864  and  is  catalogued  under  that 
date;  the  remaining  reprints  are  undated  and  are  catalogued  under  the  inclusive 
date,  "1844-64?".  The  original  edition  is  bound  in  brown;  the  later  ones  are 
in  red.

(Date  ?) 

Late  editions  of  the  two  volumes  which  first  appeared  as  Vols.  I  and  II  of  the 
Ornithology  (ist  ed.)  of  Jardine's  "The  Naturalist's  Library,"  1833-43  (q.v.), 
and  afterwards  in  a  special  edition  under  their  subject- title  (q.v.,  1840).  The 
typography  of  the  present  issue  is  that  of  the  special  edition,  without  the  double 
ruled  border  to  the  pages,  and  the  plates  likewise  show  the  elaborated  back- 
grounds of  that  edition  (here  uncolored),  while  the  figures  of  the  birds  show 
considerable  variation  in  color  from  either  previous  issue.  Latin  and  English 
names  and  the  country  of  origin  are  given  on  the  plates.  The  memoir  of  Pen- 
nant in  Pt.  II  agrees  with  that  of  the  special  editon,  while  that  of  Linnaeus  in 
Pt.  I  is  further  enlarged  by  "Anecdotes  of  Linnaeus,"  a  "List  of  the  Works  of 
Linnaeus"  and  a  list  of  "Supplements  written  by  Linnaeus  himself."  The 
copies  here  collated  are  evidently  representatives  of  two  distinct  reissues  of  un- 
certain dates.  The  imprints  on  the  illuminated  title-pages  agree  with  those 
on  the  respective  full  title-pages, — not  the  case  in  some  other  volumes  of  the 
same  set.  Cf.  Jardine,  "The  Naturalist's  Library,"  reissues,  1844-64.

sists of  a  popular  account  of  North  American  birds,  largely  compiled  from  a 
variety  of  sources  and  illustrated  by  chromolithographs.  It  is  not  of  high 
scientific  value  and  contains  numerous  errors.  The  nomenclature  of  the  in- 
dices does  not  agree,  in  detail,  with  that  of  the  text,  being  more  in  accordance 
with  the  text  of  the  later  edition.

A  revised  edition  of  the  earlier  work  of  the  same  title,  1874-78  (q.v.).  Much  of 
the  text  is  printed  from  the  same  plates  as  the  former  edition,  but  some  of  the 
matter  is  rewritten  and  reset  and  there  are  corrections  and  alterations  in  the 
nomenclature.  The  illustrations,  for  the  most  part,  are  from  the  same  plates 
as  the  original,  retouched,  but  pll.  I-XIII  are  radically  altered,  with  changed 
backgrounds,  different  figures  introduced,  attitudes  varied,  etc.  and  sometimes 
with  the  entire  plate  printed  backwards.  The  coloration  of  most  of  the 
plates  is  different  from  that  of  the  original  series.  There  is  no  date  on  the 
title-page  other  than  that  of  the  copyright,  1881.  In  Ward's  Natural  Science 
Bulletin,  2\.  No.  i,  p.  12,  Jan.  i,  1883,  the  fourth  edition  of  the  work  is  reviewed

hence  date  1882.

This  apparently  is  the  second  edition  of  the  work  of  the  same  title,  published  in 
Frankfort  in  1650  (-62?).  The  present  edition  differs,  in  certain  particulars, 
from  the  first,  according  to  the  Catalogue  of  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum 
(Natural  History).  The  plates  are  said  to  be  reversed,  as  are  the  title-pages. 
The  present  copy,  as  may  be  noted,  has  two  general  styles  of  title-page,  the 
first  of  which  (cf.  par.  i  above)  is  almost  entirely  occupied  by  a  large  decorative 
drawing,  and  bears  the  date  1657.  The  second  style  (pars.  2  and  3)  has  the 
wording  printed  in  large  characters  and  the  design  reduced  to  a  small  plate, 
while  it  bears  the  date  1665.  I  am  not  certain  that  the  coloring  of  the  plates 
is  original.  The  drawings  are  said  to  be  the  work  of  Mattheus  (jun.)  and 
Caspar  Merian1.  The  work  is  valuable  chiefly  on  account  of  the  curious  illus- 
trations, although  the  first  edition  is  of  more  importance,  being  quoted  largely 
by  Linnaeus.  The  portion  on  ornithology  (Libr.  VI)  comprises  title,  5  leaves

A  late  edition  of  the  "Libri  VI"  of  Jonston's  "Historiae  Naturalis,"  of  1650  (Cf. 
1657-65.),  with  the  same  general  text,  slightly  altered,  and  with  the  same 
plates.  The  pages  are  headed,  "Historia  Natvralis  de  Gvibus."  in  spite  of 
the  altered  title.  The  present  copy  is  composed  solely  of  the  portion  (or 
book)  on  ornithology,  the  sectional  title  of  which  is  quoted  in  the  absence  of 
the  entire  work.  The  title  quoted  in  brackets  is  on  what  appears  to  be  a 
copy  of  the  title-page  of  the  original  edition.  The  portrait  of  "loannes  Maria 
Vicecomes"  is  of  uncertain  origin.

breeding  season,  number  of  eggs  laid  and  measurements  of  eggs  (averaged

1905-10  (q.v.),  which  was  partially  contemporaneous  and  of  the  same  scope,

Pt.  Ill  (pp.  303-669)  consists  of  Ridgway's  report  on  the  avifauna  of  the  region 
lying  between  Sacramento,  California  and  the  vicinity  of  Salt-Lake  City,  Utah, 
as  investigated  during  a  period  from  June  1867  to  August  1869.  Detailed 
field  notes  are  a  feature  of  the  work  which  also  includes  descriptions  of  the 
localities  visited,  local  faunal  lists  and  other  important  matter.  On  p.  392 
is  a  note  to  the  effect  that  a  report  on  the  same  subject  was  prepared  much 
earlier  and  stereotyped  in  I87O,1  and  that  various  quotations  were  made  by 
authors  from  time  to  time  from  the  proof  sheets.  This  original  report  was  so 
long  delayed  that  it  became  out  of  date  and  was  suppressed  and  the  plates 
were  destroyed  without  being  published.  The  present  report  was  then  pre- 
pared, differing  considerably  from  the  original,  and  published  in  1877.  Sep- 
arate issues  of  Part  III  are  also  in  existence.

A  popular  transcript  of  observations  on  the  animal  life  of  Canada  made  during 
three  years  of  residence  in  the  region.  Many  of  the  notes  relate  to  birds 
and  three  of  the  colored  plates  and  one  woodcut  are  also  ornithological.  A 
manuscript  note  is  inclosed  recording  errata  not  mentioned  in  the  book  or  on 
the  insert-slip  which  this  note  seems  to  have  accompanied.  According  to  this 
note,  on  p.  293,  line  5,  the  sign,  "$"  appears  to  have  been  omitted  from  certain 
copies,  thus  indicating  that  there  may  have  been  two  impressions  of  the  volume.

A  handbook  of  Danish  ornithology,  illustrated  by  colored  figures  of  the  species. 
Judging  by  the  complete  agreement  between  plates  and  text,  this  constitutes 
the  original  work  as  issued.  In  1854,  35  additional  plates  were  issued  as  a 
supplement  under  the  same  short  title  (q.v.)  as  the  atlas  collated  above.  In 
1856  (?)  a  second  supplement  appeared  under  the  (sub)  title  of  "De  i  det  0vrige 
Scandinavien:  .  .  forekommende  Fuglearter"  (q.v.)  and,  in  the  same  year, 
a  covering  title  of  "Icones  Ornithologiae  Scandinavicae"  (q.v.)  was  issued  to 
embrace  all  three  parts  of  the  work.  Jonas  Collin,  who  issued  a  revised  edition 
of  the  entire  work  in  1875-77,  published  two  supplementary  plates  to  his 
edition  under  the  title  of  "To  Nye  Tavler  til  Dr.  Kjaerb011ing's  Skandinaviens 
Fugle,"  (Cf.  Kkaerbolling,  1879.).  In  the  present  copies  the  plates  of  these 
four  works  (or  four  portions  of  the  same  work)  are  bound  in  one  volume;  the 
original  text,  in  8vo,  is  separately  bound.

1926.  CATALOGUE  OF  AVER  LIBRARY — ZIMMER.  357 

A  noted  work,  stolen  from  Temminck,  the  original  author,  by  Madame  Knip,  the 
artist,  who  suppressed  the  titles  and  introductory  matter  and  substituted  others 
of  her  own  (cited  above).  A  history  of  the  transaction  is  given  by  Coues  (Bull. 
U.  S.  Geol.  Geog.  Surv.  Terr.  5,  (i),  pp.  794-6,  1878.  The  general  text  is  by 
Temminck.  The  work  was  issued  in  15  livraisons,  each,  apparently  (except  for 
the  last  one),  with  6  plates.  Stone  (Proc.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.,  Philad.,  57,  p.  756, 
footn.),  records  dates  from  a  copy  in  original  covers,  from  which  the  following 
arrangement  may  be  deduced.  Livrs.  1-5,  pp.  23-41  (Les  Columbars)  and  1-49 
(Les  Colombes),  pll.  i-i  i  (Les  Columbars)  and  1-18  (Les  Colombes)  all  appeared 
in  1809;  livrs.  6-8,  pp.  50-80,  pll.  19-36  (Les  Colombes)  appeared  in  1810; 
livrs.  9-15,  pp.  81-128  (Les  Colombes)  and  1-30  (Les  Colombi-Gallines), 
1-13 -I- 1  (discourse  on  pigeons),  half-tit,  and  tit.,  pll.  37-59  (Les  Colombes)  and 
1-16  (Les  Colombi-Gallines)  were  issued  in  181 1.  In  the  present  copy,  errors  in 
pagination  have  been  corrected  (with  a  pen)  as  indicated  above  in  the  collation. 
In  addition  three  lines  of  text  are  omitted  from  the  bottom  of  p.  26  (unnum. ; 
Les  Colombars)  and  plates  33  and  47  are  cited  in  the  text  as  "XXXI"  and 
"LXVII,"  respectively.  In  the  second  edition  of  this  volume  (1838,  q.v.),  some 
of  the  errors  of  the  present  edition  are  corrected.  The  lacuna  between  pp.  14 
of  the  preliminary  discourse  and  23  of  the  general  text,  due  in  reality  to  the 
omission  of  some  of  Temminck's  work,  is  explained  by  Madame  Knip  (reverse 
of  half-tit.)  on  the  ground  of  typographical  error!  Pages  23-41  (originally 
129-134  and  133  bis)  seem  to  have  been  transferred  from  a  place  in  the  volume 
beyond  pp.  1-128  although  they  refer  to  pll.  i-n  (or  I-XI)  which  are  in  proper 
position  at  the  beginning  of  the  text.  In  1813-15  Temminck  republished  the 
text  of  the  work  in  8vo,  3  vols.,  including  the  gallinaceous  birds,  under  the  title 
"Histoire  Naturelle  Generate  des  Pigeons  et  des  Gallinaces"  (q.v.),  and  on 
pp.  640-644  of  Vol.  Ill  presents  his  case  with  reference  to  the  dispute  with 
Madame  Knip.  According  to  the  statement  given  there,  Temminck  was  pre- 
paring to  publish  an  illustrated  folio  on  the  gallinaceous  birds,  as  a  continuation 
of  that  on  the  pigeons,  when  the  interruption  occurred,  but  the  work  was  aban- 
doned and  never  resumed.  The  8vo  "Histoire  Naturelle,"  in  a  measure,  took 
the  place  of  the  larger  projected  work.  Since  the  arrangement  of  species  and 
groups  is  the  same  as  that  in  the  present  work,  it  seems  probable  that  the 
alteration  in  sequence  and  consequent  re-pagination,  as  quoted  above,  was 
authorized  by  Temminck  and  cannot  be  ascribed  to  the  machinations  of 
Madame  Knip.  Of  the  original  folio  of  Temminck,  entitled,  "Histoire  Naturelle 
Ge'nerale  des  Pigeons,"  only  twelve  copies  were  seen  and  approved  by  Tem- 
minck, eight  of  which  he  retained  himself.

the  bottom  of  p.  26  are  supplied;  pp.  24-28  are  numbered;  p.  25  bears  signature 
"7";  pp.  23-26  have  their  headings  altered  to  agree  with  the  headings  of  the 
rest  of  the  work  (they  are  different  in  the  ist  ed.);  the  plate  numbers  are  sup- 
pressed throughout,  being  barely  visible  although  not  inked;  pp.  133-134  and 
134  (bis)  are  left  with  the  pagination  unaltered,  although  on  pp.  129-132  the 
corrections  have  been  made  as  in  the  copy  of  the  ist  ed.  (q.v.).  Pll.  XXXIII 
and  XLVII  are  wrongly  given  in  the  text  as  "XXXI"  and  "LXVII,"  as  in 
ed.  i.  Vol.  II  contains  less  errors,  but  the  reference  to  pi.  VI  is  given  as  "XI," 
and  pll.  VII  and  VIII  (with  the  accounts  referring  to  them)  are  transposed  in 
sequence. 

An  illustrated  supplement,  by  Charles  Lucien  Bonaparte,  appeared  in  1857-58

without  definite  dates  of  occurrence  or  capture,  even  for  the  rarer  forms  whose 
records  would  be  especially  valuable.
